Carmelo Hayes on His NXT Run – Carmelo Hayes has made a name for himself in WWE NXT and has found great success in a short amount of time by being a former NXT and North American Champion.
He made his arrival on the brand shortly before it was rebranded as NXT 2.0, a notable shift in the way the brand was booked with a focus on younger talent.
Hayes now has another chance to become the NXT Champion when he steps into the ring to take on the reigning champion Ilja Dragunov on tonight’s episode of NXT, which has the Halloween Havoc theme attached to it.
While speaking with PWInsider to promote it, Hayes discussed his belief that he’s accomplished everything there is to achieve in NXT.
“I feel very satisfied with everything I’ve done in NXT. I feel like I’ve helped build the brand back up. I feel like I’ve been a cornerstone to the success of NXT 2.0. I feel very satisfied. I feel like I’ve accomplished everything there is to accomplish there. My relationships that I’ve built there, everything that, you know, I’m willing to give back if I need to get back in. The next step for me is whenever they’re ready to let me go, I’m ready to take that next step.”
