WWE star Carmelo Hayes remained energised after his heated exchange with Cody Rhodes on Friday night, following the live broadcast of WWE SmackDown.
The tension began during the November 22 episode when Hayes engaged in a pull-apart confrontation with Rhodes, also known as “The American Nightmare.” The altercation was sparked by a comment Hayes made about the public perception of the Undisputed WWE Champion. This came after Rhodes’ face-to-face segment with Kevin Owens earlier in the show.

Hayes’ remark appeared to allude to the controversial reputation of CM Punk, who made his return on the same episode of SmackDown. Punk has faced scrutiny following backstage incidents in AEW involving The Elite and Jack Perry, adding an extra layer of intrigue to Hayes’ comment.
The clash between Hayes and Cody Rhodes has set the stage for a highly anticipated match on next week’s episode of WWE SmackDown. The bout, taped at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City after the November 22 show, is already generating significant buzz among fans.
As the rivalry intensifies, WWE’s latest developments continue to keep audiences on edge.
