Carmelo Hayes' rise in WWE has been astronomical in recent weeks. After starting his career in NXT, it didn't take him long to capture the North American Championship. After losing the title, he continued to rise in popularity and eventually won the NXT Championship from Bron Breakker. He lost it to Ilja Dragunov.
Melo's NXT run impressed the WWE higher-ups as he moved to WWE SmackDown during the recently concluded Draft. Moreover, he was a first-round draft pick, showing how much the Stamford-based promotion believes in Hayes.

A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
