Carmelo Hayes showed the WWE Universe what he could do when he faced Cody Rhodes on WWE SmackDown. Now, the former NXT Champion is ready to put everyone on notice.
Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Carmelo Hayes shared his thoughts on facing Cody Rhodes and getting drafted to WWE SmackDown.
“I’m feeling like I see what I could have did to beat Cody Rhodes after I watched the match back,” Carmelo Hayes said. “There’s a couple of slip-ups that we could have fixed up. I might have had him when I had him in that Crossrhodes. Then he tried to catch me with the Cody Cutter in mid-air, but he was just too slow, and I’m too fast.
“I feel like I’m just so ready to put the rest of the SmackDown roster on notice. I’m so much hungrier than a lot of these guys. A lot of these guys have been up there for so long, they’ve been getting paid for so long they’re comfortable. The one thing you can’t be around Carmelo Hayes is comfortable or complacent. I’m coming for it all, like I did in NXT. I took everything, and I plan to do the same thing on SmackDown.”
