Carmelo Hayes celebrates being on the WWE main roster for a year.
During the 2024 WWE Draft, several NXT stars were called up to the main roster, with Carmelo Hayes coming in as the first draft pick for Friday Night SmackDown in the Draft. Since then, Hayes has been a consistent part of Friday Night SmackDown, most recently winning the Andre The Giant Battle Royal.
In a new social media post replying to a USA Network post mentioning it had been a year since Hayes' callup, Carmelo mentioned that he feels like he is winning in every way possible.
Regardless of what was expected or not this year, I never measured my success on Championships or winning matches.

When I got the ball it was a first down or touchdown. Stole the show and had banger matches with anyone and everyone.
Traveled the world and honed my craft… https://t.co/LnOkkIawF8
