Carmelo Hayes Announced for US Title Tournament on WWE SmackDown – A fresh spark is about to hit WWE SmackDown with the announcement of NXT’s Carmelo Hayes joining the WWE United States Championship Tournament. Although the initial reveal on the December 8 episode left the NXT participant unnamed, WWE revealed Hayes’ entry through a special announcement by Shawn Michaels.
Carmelo Hayes, a former two-time NXT North American Champion, is slated to enter the tournament by facing Grayson Waller in an important first-round match scheduled for the upcoming December 15 episode of WWE SmackDown. The tournament has seen impressive victories by well-known names like Bobby Lashley and Santos Escobar who advanced to the second round this past Friday, and Hayes’ inclusion promises more excitement.
Hayes comes fresh from a victory against Lexis King at NXT Deadline on December 9. He previously made a mark on the main roster with a memorable match against Finn Balor on the June 26, 2023, episode of WWE RAW. With his strong NXT background, Hayes’ entry into the tournament adds a new layer of competition as he vies for the prestigious United States Championship.
