What did NXT Superstar Carmelo Hayes think of his WWE Main Event clash with Cedric Alexander?
Who better to ask than the former NXT Cruiserweight and North American Champion himself?
During his interview with Fightful, Hayes told the site:
“I feel like I didn’t miss a beat. I feel like when I got the call, it was like, ‘Good. Finally.’ It was more, I knew it wasn’t a ‘Hey, we’re bringing you up’ because I have a lot I need to focus on in NXT, but it was like a reward. ‘Hey man, go up here, show off up here, and come back down.’ It was a great experience. It was one of those experiences that, when I came back, I was more motivated. We’re here, we’re in Orlando, we’re doing the same thing every day with training and stuff, they don’t see that part, and then you get to go outside of Orlando and get to wrestle in front of 7,000 people at the Barclays, this is why we’re doing it. All the hard work we’re putting in down here is for this. It was very motivating.”
Hayes will battle Grayson Waller, Joe Gacy, JD McDonagh, and Axiom at this evening's NXT Deadline Premium Live Event, in the first ever Men's Iron Survivor Challenge match.
