Carmelo Hayes biography
If there’s one thing you need to know about Carmelo Hayes, it’s that he is HIM.
A true NXT legend, Hayes made history by becoming the first Superstar to capture the Cruiserweight Championship, North American Championship, and NXT Championship in their career.
The Boston native scored major victories over standouts like Johnny Gargano and Ricochet, establishing himself as one of the best in NXT. His crowning achievement came at NXT Stand & Deliver 2023, where he defeated Breakker to win the NXT Championship.
In 2024, Hayes made history once again as the first-ever NXT Superstar drafted in the first round, going #3 overall to SmackDown — a massive leap to WWE’s blue brand.
The future is bright for HIM, and the wrestling world is watching closely.
