NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes has been a standout performer in NXT thanks to his exceptional in-ring prowess and athletic ability. His hard work and dedication have not only won him the championship but also the admiration of fans. However, this week’s NXT saw an unexpected twist when Baron Corbin made a surprise return and ambushed Hayes.
Hayes earned his championship title earlier this year by defeating Bron Breakker and has since successfully defended his title, becoming a significant attraction for the brand. The ambush by Corbin during this week’s NXT episode was shocking and left fans in disbelief.
After the episode, Hayes took to social media to react to Corbin’s ambush. In his post, Hayes expressed relief that it wasn’t Brock Lesnar who attacked him, saying, “At least it wasn’t Brock… #WWENXT.”
As we look ahead, seeing how WWE develops the storyline between Hayes and Corbin on NXT will be interesting. This feud presents an opportunity for Corbin to engage in a meaningful storyline after a considerable gap.
At least it wasn’t Brock…#WWENXT
