NXT’s Carmelo Hayes, Von Wagner work WWE Main Event taping
Two NXT wrestlers were in action before Monday night’s episode of Raw in Brooklyn, New York went on the air.
Carmelo Hayes and Von Wagner both wrestled matches at Monday’s WWE Main Event tapings. Hayes defeated Cedric Alexander. Wagner lost to R-Truth by disqualification.
R-Truth got the win by DQ after faking that Wagner had hit him with a steel chair.
This is the second straight week that NXT wrestlers have appeared on Main Event. Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen defeated R-Truth & Shelton Benjamin on the show last week, while Fallon Henley lost a match to Dana Brooke.
Hayes is a two-time NXT North American Champion. At NXT Halloween Havoc later this month, Hayes and Wagner will both compete in a ladder match for the vacant North American title. Hayes, Wagner, Oro Mensah, Wes Lee, and either Nathan Frazer or Axiom will be the five wrestlers in the ladder match.
WWE Main Event premieres on Hulu each Thursday. The episodes are uploaded to Peacock on a two-week delay.
