This week’s WWE NXT started with a bang as a young debutant, Carmelo Hayes, locked horns with the NXT Megastar Adam Cole. Surprisingly for the WWE Universe, Hayes pushed the veteran Cole to his limit and delivered a barnburner. Triple H, who was also very impressed, reacted to Hayes’ heroics on Twitter.
Cole, before getting interrupted by Hayes, cut a promo about last week’s incident. Hayes’ entry baffled Cole, as he had no clue about the young sensation.
As the NXT fans in the arena chanted, “Who are you?” at Hayes, the debutant introduced himself and demanded a match with Bay-Bay. Hayes then cut a similar promo to what John Cena did against Kurt Angle on his debut.
