Summary

Carmelo Hayes addressed Trick Williams publicly backing him after Hayes lost the WWE United States Championship to Sami Zayn on the March 27 episode of SmackDown.

The title change came after Williams tried to strike Zayn during the match and accidentally hit Hayes, opening the door for Zayn to score the win. Hayes and Williams are now linked heading into WrestleMania weekend, with Williams already set to challenge Zayn for the title at WrestleMania 42.

That support was also part of Williams’ recent comments on Hayes after the loss.

Quote from Carmelo Hayes

"I mean, he’s not wrong. I don’t know. He’s not wrong… Doesn’t do anything for me. I think we’ll see what happens."

What Carmelo Hayes’ SmackDown Response Could Mean

Hayes saying this does not "do anything" for him keeps the focus on how he responds on the April 3 SmackDown, which he named as his platform to address losing the United States title. If Williams is moving directly into a WrestleMania 42 title shot against Zayn, Hayes’ next direction becomes one of the key follow-up questions in this WWE U.S. title picture.
