10 WWE Stars Who Will Miss WrestleMania 36

8. Velveteen Dream

Unlike the prior two entries, NXT's Velveteen Dream has money written all over him, and he's still only 24 years old. When Dream returns from back injuries, he'll resume his attention-grabbing antics and slide right back into the black and yellow brand like nothing happened.

WrestleMania will come too soon for him.

A cryptic promo on the latest episode of NXT did suggest that Dream may return to TV soon, but that doesn't mean he's 'Mania bound. Assuming the former North American Champ does launch a comeback, he'd either wrestle a squash-style match at TakeOver: Portland or work some simple bouts on the Wednesday weekly.

WWE must know that the guy is a star-in-the-making who can do mega-business for years to come, and that's why they'd want his first 'Mania moment to be special. Sticking him in on the pre-show or as part of some multi-man match wouldn't do him proud.
