Friends Turned Into Enemies

On this week’s NXT, Trick Williams clinched the NXT Championship, prompting a response from his former friend, Carmelo Hayes.

During the 2024 WWE Draft’s opening night, Carmelo Hayes secured a spot on SmackDown, marking a significant shift in the roster. In an exclusive interview, Trick Williams expressed his excitement about Hayes’ move, emphasizing his talent and showing support.

“Yo, I’m super hyped, super excited for Carmelo Hayes. He is a phenomenal talent. As everybody knows, he is him. However, I do think it’s extremely bold to call out Cody Rhodes your first day on the job, but hey, do what the people told you to do, whoop that trick.”
