Going into this event, the inclusion of The Velveteen Dream in the North American Championship Ladder Match was an understandable talking point for many.

Dream hadn't been seen on television for some time after being accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor. That was until he showed up a few weeks ago and WWE acted like nothing had happened in the first place.

Ultimately, his unnecessary appearance last night only succeeded in making fans feel uncomfortable and surely the wise move going forward would be to pull Dream from TV until the situation is resolved or the claims have been dismissed.

Triple H and co burying their heads in the sand is definitely not a good look, but it's not too late to salvage this foolish decision.
