WWE NXT champion Carmelo Hayes is confident he has the upper hand ahead of his title defence against Bron Breakker.
The pair will square off for the black and gold brand’s top prize at the 'Battleground' Premium Live Event this Sunday. Having defeated the 25-year-old to prize the belt from his clutches at NXT 'Stand and Deliver' in April, Hayes will have his hands full after granting Breakker a shot at redemption this weekend.
However, rather than regaining the title, the former champion has made it clear he is more fixated on embarrassing Hayes in front of his family and friends, as Battleground takes place at Tsongas Center in his home state of Massachusetts. In an exclusive chat with Mirror Sport, this is something Hayes believes provides him with a psychological advantage heading into the bout.
