Top WWE NXT Superstar Carmelo Hayes recently appeared on Instinct Culture with Denise Salcedo to talk about a variety of topics such as the pressure he had on himself of winning the 2021 WWE NXT Breakout Tournament and then winning the WWE NXT North American Championship for the very first time.
Carmelo Hayes said:
“It was a certain pressure I had on myself where it was like, oh, okay, they’re going with me, like, I can’t fail. I can’t let them down. Like that Melo don’t miss thing, like it was before even that. I can’t miss. You know, I mean, I truly can’t. At first there was a lot of pressure. It really was because like, I don’t know if you remember, but the guys I had to go against are just so much bigger than me. So like, those are just such difficult matches, you know, because there really wasn’t a lot to do. Then after that, it got a little bit smoother. I think it was just the pressure of okay, making sure that they know that they picked the right guy. I still to this day feel that type of pressure on myself. They know what they got, but I still want them to know that they got the right guy every time I go out there.”
