Carmelo Hayes teases joining up with Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits.
Since The Street Profits joined up with Bobby Lashley and turned heel, WWE fans have been clamouring for more in the new SmackDown faction. Now, a prominent NXT name has teased possibly linking up with the group in the future.
Speaking with Matt Aguilar for ComicBook Nation, Hayes was asked to share his thoughts on Lashley and the Street Profits as a group. The NXT Champion would go on to tease possibly joining the faction in the future.
Those are all guys that I’m very, very high on and I know vice versa, I think they’re very high on Trick and I as well. Shoot, I wish the best for them. As of right now, my main focus is what I’m doing here in NXT. I’m focused on this NXT Championship run, I’m focused on holding the company on my back, I’m focused on that. So it’s hard for me to kind of one eye over here, one eye over there. A lot of people doing that for me, but little do they know I’m so solely focused on what I’m doing here in NXT and that’s being the NXT Champion and defending this championship against Ilja Dragunov at No Mercy,”
Carmelo Hayes
As mentioned by Hayes, he is set to defend the NXT Championship this weekend at No Mercy vs Ilja Dragunov.
We will have to see if Hayes will link up with the Profits and Lashley when he makes his way to the main roster.
