Tuesday’s WWE NXT Heatwave special featured an intense main event match between Carmelo Hayes and Wes Lee, with Hayes successfully defending his NXT Title for the fifth time since winning it from Bron Breakker at NXT Stand & Deliver on April 1. The match showcased the talent and skill of both wrestlers, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.
Following the main event, former NXT Champion Big E, who was the second-ever holder of the title after dethroning current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, praised Hayes for his performance. Big E, who was present backstage at Heatwave, even joined Hayes for a photo shoot, capturing the camaraderie and respect between the two wrestlers.
In a tweet, Big E expressed his admiration for Hayes, stating, “Melo is a STAR. Couldn’t be a bigger fan of @Carmelo_WWE as a talent & professional. Looking forward to the main roster main events & world titles.” This endorsement from a respected veteran like Big E speaks volumes about Hayes’ potential and future success in WWE.
Hayes, in response, liked Big E’s tweet but has not directly addressed it at the time of writing. He did, however, share an image from their backstage photo shoot on Twitter, accompanied by the caption, “Then. Now. Forever. #WWENXT.” This post further solidifies the bond between the two wrestlers and hints at a promising future for Hayes.
Since capturing the NXT Title from Breakker on April 1, Hayes has proven himself as a formidable champion. He has successfully defended his title against notable opponents such as Grayson Waller, Breakker, current NXT Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar, Baron Corbin, Ilja Dragunov, and Wes Lee. Each match has showcased Hayes’ versatility and determination to hold onto his championship reign.
With Big E’s endorsement and his impressive track record, Hayes is undoubtedly on the path to greatness. His talent and professionalism have caught the attention of both fans and fellow wrestlers, earning him the respect he deserves. It will be exciting to see what lies ahead for Hayes, as he continues to make his mark in WWE.
