In the last week, we learned that Carmelo Hayes will be making the “SmackDown” first appearance on the show this weekend of the United States Championship Tournament, taking on Grayson Waller in a first round match. In light of this news, Hayes’ longtime associate and “NXT” Superstar Trick Williams has revealed whether the latter is planning to join Hayes as a regular on the roster shortly.
“You are aware, and to be honest Bully I’m a huge advocate of being the place you are,” Williams told Bully Ray on “Busted Open Radio.” “So whatever it is in front in front of me, I need to get it done. That is, if it implies it’s ‘Raw’, it’s “Raw.’ If it’s ‘NXT’ it’s called ‘NXT.'”
The cohost of Ray’s show, Tommy Dreamer, shared his thoughts on the subject when asked if he believed Williams Hayes and Hayes could be set to be a part of the team as part of the main roster prior.
“I believe both are. I’d recommend keeping them far from the other [“Raw” and “SmackDown”since they’re both babyfaces. There’s a lot of babyfaces on the front for both brands. Stay away from them, since [Carmelo Hayes] will not appear on television,” said Dreamer.
Williams joined WWE at the beginning of February in 2021 and established a partnership with Carmelo Hayes in his TV debut seven months after, in September. This led to Williams being crowned as the North American Champion and Hayes winning the North American Championship twice and “NXT” Championship twice.
He won the male’s Iron Survivor Challenge at “NXT” Deadline this past Saturday and is trying to discover who is the mysterious character who attacked him on the night of October 17 causing tension between him and Hayes.
