Pressure makes diamonds.
Carmelo Hayes has fast become one of the hottest rising stars in WWE NXT. From people in the company all the way to fans, everyone has talked about how Carmelo Hayes is the next big thing. But, does he feel that pressure to prove them right? Recently, Carmelo Hayes sat down with WrestleBinge by Sportskeeda where he was asked about if he feels the pressure of everyone thinking he’s the next big star.
No, so, it’s funny you say that because I had that realization like a couple weeks ago. I said “wow, like everybody talking about ‘oh Melo’s going to the main roster, this and this and this’” and I’m like “oh my god like, I feel like the eyes are so much on me that I can’t, I can’t miss.” But, I don’t feel that pressure. Because it’s just like, what I do, you know? At this point it’s just regular to me now. So, it’s like I’m just doing what I’ve been doing in a way. So, it’s like I’m not changing, you know, not changing my formula. I’m just going out, just doing the best that I can possible do, so, I don’t really put any extra pressure on myself. I’m more concerned with making sure I’m pleasing the people that are in charge like Shawn and Hunter right now, you know, I wanna make sure I’m doing the job right and then all that extra stuff comes later, but you know, I just wanna make sure I’m putting on for NXT and representing NXT well on TV.
