Earlier this weekend, Carmelo Hayes teamed with The Miz on Friday Night SmackDown and picked up his first win on a flagship WWE show since April. That’s right. He hasn’t won a match that wasn’t taped for the second tier Main Event show since he won The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal during ‘Mania week. That’s almost four months, but nonetheless, there’s reason for optimism here. Let’s have a Carmelo Hayes conversation.
Attention WWE, Triple H, Bruce Prichard, Ed Koskey, Road Dogg, everyone else in the writers room, now is the time to push Carmelo Hayes, and The Miz is the perfect person to push him alongside. The crowd was very into Friday’s tag team match between those two and Fraxiom, and more importantly, they really popped for the finish in which Hayes dominated but The Miz stole the glory at the last minute. There is all the potential for a good program, and there’s every indication it will get over if WWE gives it consistent airtime.
