In a recent match on Friday Night SmackDown, former WWE champion Carmelo Hayes faced off against Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion. Although Hayes failed to secure a win, he has since made a bold assertion, claiming that he is worthy of holding the Undisputed Championship.
Hayes’ assertion was made in a series of tweets, where he praised his own performance during the match. He compared his efforts to a 40-point performance in the NBA, stating that he “dropped 40 points” on Rhodes. This bold statement has sparked a debate among wrestling fans, with some questioning whether Hayes has the skills and credentials to become the next Undisputed Champion.
Prior to the match, Hayes had been using his psychological games to try and get under Rhodes’ skin. He had accused Rhodes of being responsible for an injury-inducing attack on Randy Orton, which almost led to a backstage brawl between the two. This mind games tactic seemed to have an effect on Rhodes, as the Undisputed Champion appeared to be emotionally impacted by Hayes’ words.
However, Rhodes was able to put aside his frustration and secure a win over Hayes. Despite this, Hayes’ performance was praised by commentators Michael Cole and Corey Graves, who noted that he had pushed Rhodes to his limit. This has led some to speculate that Hayes may be primed for a push, potentially setting him up for a future match with Rhodes with the Undisputed Championship on the line.
Hayes’ claim of being worthy of the Undisputed Championship is not without merit. He has a strong track record in the WWE, having won multiple championships including the NXT Championship. He has also had successful feuds with other top talent, including LA Knight and Andrade.
Fans will be eager to see how this situation develops in the coming weeks. Will Hayes be able to prove himself worthy of the Undisputed Championship, or will he continue to fall short against Rhodes? One thing is certain – Hayes is confident in his abilities, and is not afraid to speak his mind. Only time will tell if his bold assertions come to fruition.
In the meantime, the WWE will continue to feature a range of exciting matches and storylines. Fans can expect more from Hayes and Rhodes in the coming weeks, as their rivalry continues to heat up. Whether Hayes will be able to claim the Undisputed Championship remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – he is not going anywhere anytime soon.”
