Carmelo Hayes: Bio

If there's one thing you need to know about Carmelo Hayes, it's that he is HIM.

A true NXT legend, Hayes made history by becoming the first Superstar to capture the Cruiserweight Championship, North American Championship and NXT Championship in his career.

The Boston native scored major victories over standouts like Johnny Gargano and Ricochet, establishing himself as one of the best in NXT. His crowning achievement came at NXT Stand & Deliver 2023, where he defeated Bron Breakker to win the NXT Title.

In 2024, Hayes made history once again as the first-ever NXT Superstar drafted in the first round, going No. 3 overall to SmackDown — a massive leap to Friday nights that saw him capture the United States Championship and the Andre the Giant Battle Royal crown.

In a shocking move, Hayes seemingly aligned with Royce Keyes and united with The 946 to launch a war with The Bloodline, potentially changing the course of history on Monday nights.
