Carmelo Haye, the former NXT Champion who got drafted to SmackDown, is making waves!
Hayes challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship on the night of the draft and put up a good fight. Afterward, he looked to feud with Bobby Lashley, but Lashley’s injury put those plans on hold.
Hayes Wants Hungry Competition
In a recent interview, Hayes spoke his mind about established stars like Lashley. He said some top guys seem too comfortable and not hungry for competition. Hayes made it clear he was there to shake things up.
While some might see this as disrespect to veterans, Hayes isn’t afraid of a challenge. He wants to prove himself against the best and believes the established stars are getting complacent. Fans are excited to see how Hayes navigates the competitive SmackDown roster and if he can live up to his bold words.
Nicknamed “The Future of NXT” by some fans, Hayes seems to be channeling the energy of his former boss, Triple H. Both men are known for their focus on building new stars, and Hayes’ comments could be seen as a declaration of that same mission on the main roster.
