WWE's Carmelo Hayes on possibly joining Hit Row

NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes cleared the air about his possible participation with Hit Row following their WWE return.

Fans were shocked when Hit Row made their shocking return on the latest episode of SmackDown. Top Dolla and Ashante Adonis, with B-Fab at ringside, successfully defeated Brandon Scott and Trevor Urban in a dominant fashion.

Following Hit Row's return, Carmelo replied to an old tweet that hinted at a leadership role for the group. However, Hayes quickly clarified that he was not going to join the main roster faction.

Hit Row spent a good amount of time on NXT before they were called up to the main roster in 2021. However, their time on SmackDown didn't last long after they were released in November of that same year. Another member of the team, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, didn't join the group as he is now part of All Elite Wrestling.

A couple of fans said that Carmelo and Trick Williams are doing just fine in the developmental brand:

Finally, some said he's going to make it his own by becoming the WWE Champion someday. One fan even said they were waiting for Hayes' moment:

For now, it looks like Hit Row will continue as a three-member group. Still, with the number of returns happening in the promotion, it's possible that they won't be the last.
