Reigning WWE NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes spoke with Ten Count's Steve Fall on a variety of topics such as how his feud with former WWE NXT Champion Bron Breakker goes beyond the WWE NXT Championship as he doesn't want the WWE NXT Championship, what Bron wants is to hurt Hayes and embarrass the champion in front of his friends and family.
Carmelo Hayes said:
“It’s not cool and I think this is beyond the championship at this point. I said it before, he’s thrived without this championship. He doesn’t want this championship, he wants to hurt me and he wants to embarrass me in front of my friends and family. There’s a competition as to who the guy is, who’s number one and who’s number two.”
Carmelo Hayes also spoke about how at WWE NXT Battleground they will find out who the real number one is and the real undisputed champion.
Carmelo Hayes said:
“I always thought I was number one, he always thought he was number one. I am number one and he still thinks he’s number one, so we need to put that conversation to rest. At NXT Battleground, who the real number one is, undisputed, that’s where we’re gonna find out.”
