Velveteen Dream is back in NXT.
Dream was the mystery opponent in the triple threat match against Cameron Grimes and Kushida with the winner moving on to NXT TakeOver XXX and the ladder match for the vacant NXT North American Championship.
Though Dream returned, it was Grimes who picked up the victory by pinning Kushida to qualify for the ladder match.

Dream hadn't been seen on NXT television since losing the Backlot Brawl against Adam Cole at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. Fightful Select reported earlier in the evening that Dream's return was "imminent."
As Dream wasn't involved in the pinfall, he will face Finn Balor in a second chance qualifying match next Wednesday.
