Velveteen Dream vs. Cezar Bononi
Result: Dream def. Bononi via Purple RainMaker
Rating: Squash
My thoughts on The Velveteen Dream are pretty clear. I think the gimmick could work on the main roster, maybe no more than a midcarder, but it could be great. He oozes confidence and charisma.
Bononi, on the other hand, needs to a find a gimmick that matching his character. He has all the tools, the height and the look, but is missing the “IT” factor everyone talks about.
The match was nothing more than a way for The Velveteen Dream to get some easy heat. In a post match interview, Dream says he would interview with decently dressed women, but would never interview in front of the ugly NXT crowd. To which the crowd cheered loudly.
