NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes wants to face WWE RAW star
NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes recently disclosed that he wants to have a dream match against Seth Rollins.
Seth Rollins was selected by WWE RAW in this year's draft and will be bringing the World Heavyweight Championship to the red brand after defeating AJ Styles at Night of Champions. Carmelo Hayes has a tall task in front of him tonight when he defends the NXT Championship against Bron Breakker at Battleground.
During a Q&A on WWE's Snapchat, the 28-year-old disclosed that he believes he would have great chemistry in the ring with Seth Rollins. He added that The Visionary is the first NXT Champion, and now he's holding the title, so there would be a good story to tell sometime down the line.
"I've been on record saying this a bunch of times so I’m just going to stay consistent with it: Seth Rollins. I feel like he’s somebody that I would have good chemistry with in the ring. On top of that, I see our careers as very much being parallel in the sense of he was the first NXT Champion and I’m the current NXT champion. I think that would be a good story to tell down the road," Melo said. [0:01 - onwards]
