Last night, Carmelo Hayes would get the spotlight on Monday Night RAW. The reigning NXT Champion, and a former NXT North American Champion – Hayes is a fast rising star in WWE.
He was humbled slightly, as he was shut down by perhaps the greatest NXT Champion of all time in Finn Balor – but win or lose, Hayes path in WWE remains the same.
Win Or Loss, I’m Still Him
In an online exclusive video interview – Carmelo Hayes would speak on his loss to Balor.
“I mean, shoot, I can’t take away from Finn Balor, Judgment Day. Finn is one of the best in the world. If I gotta take a loss to one of the best in the world, I can accept that. But listen, the important thing is tomorrow night against Baron Corbin for the NXT Championship. I’m not 100%, but I believe I can beat Baron at 75%, at 50%, at 25%. I know he’s gonna put up a great fight, but I’m ready, man. I might have taken a loss, but I look in the mirror and I’m still Carmelo Hayes, so that’s a W.”
He’d follow up with a tweet – stating the following.
“Debuted on WWE Raw . Gotta let it sink in… Dream come true. Win or loss, still HIM.”
Carmelo Hayes & Bron Breakker Are Sure Fire Main Event Stars
