Carmelo Hayes is reflecting on his first year on the WWE main roster. The 2025 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Winner was selected in the first round of the WWE Draft this time last year and he responded to a social media post from the USA Network celebrating the occasion on Saturday. While the former NXT Champion may not have had the kind of year that many of his fans wanted or expected, from a booking perspective, Hayes is highlighting the positives from his time as a SmackDown Superstar.
He noted that whenever his number was called, he always delivered. Even if he wasn't the one getting his hand raised at the end of the match. Hayes recently formed a partnership with The Miz on Friday Night SmackDown and he was gifted a new nickname on this past week's episode.
After the A-lister presented Carmelo with a gold chain that depicted the head of the late great Andre the Giant, Melo was referred to as the 'HIMth Wonder of the World.' It's highly possible that his battle royal victory on WrestleMania SmackDown could be parlayed into his most significant push on the main roster to date. Time will tell, but Melo has proven he does not miss when presented with an opportunity to shoot the ball.
