Trick Williams on possible Carmelo Hayes match: ‘Let’s see what happens’
Could a match between Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes happen again? It’s possible.
During the WWE Backlash post-show, fans in the background began to chant for the former United States Champion as Williams and Lil Yachty sat with the post-show panel following his win against Sami Zayn. Williams reacted to the crowd, not dismissing another future match between the two.
“Y’all wanna see Trick versus Melo?” he asked the crowd, which responded positively. “The people have spoken. I mean, shoot. Let’s see what happens.”
“Melo can get it too,” Yachty added.
The two friends have a long history
Williams and Hayes have an extensive history with one another, with Williams first being introduced as Melo’s associate years ago in NXT. Hayes eventually turned against his former friend leading to a bitter rivalry that lasted months. Williams eventually emerged as one of NXT’s biggest stars following the feud, winning the NXT Championship as well as the TNA Championship during his time on the brand.
Hayes and Williams have already met on the main roster, with the former beating the latter in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match back in February. Hayes hasn’t been on television since losing a United States title rematch to Sami Zayn on SmackDown prior to WrestleMania 42.
