Carmelo Hayes believes his rivalry with Andrade on SmackDown is far from over.
WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes recently spoke with Steven Muelhausen of Sports Illustrated. When asked about his series of matches with Andrade on SmackDown, Hayes doesn’t seem to believe their rivalry has culminated yet.
“Did it culminate? Maybe on one side. Maybe on one side, it’s culminated, Carmelo Hayes said. “It feels like an opportunity to get guys who are hungry and didn’t have a direction at the time. It was like, ‘Hey, we know we got these two studs. Let’s see what we make out of it. I don’t know if it was fully planned, and who knows how far we will take it.
Carmelo Hayes hopes his rivalry with Andrade will extend to seven matches
“But personally, I’m not okay with losing in five when I know there can be seven. I’ve seen all these other guys go to seven. What makes this different? Why does this only go to five? He didn’t sweep me. He’s just barely beating me every time. You have to remember that I’m still learning the ropes. I can afford to lose here and there. But believe me, when I figure this thing out, it might be seven matches, but when I figure this thing out, I’m coming out on top.
“I have to tighten up, and I have to lock in and figure out the next two matches if I want them or what my angle will be. But he has a match against LA Knight for the U.S. title. I guess if that’s what you want to call a culmination, and that’s a culmination, but don’t think I’m not going to spin the block on him or LA Knight.”
