Current WWE Champion sends a two-word message to Ricochet after their first time ever match up
The One and Only Ricochet challenged Carmelo Hayes for the NXT North American Championship at NXT Worlds Collide.
The two superstars kickstarted the night and went back and forth for a little over 15 minutes. There were a few moments when it looked like the One and Only was going to get the win, but Hayes was saved by his friend Trick Williams.
Towards the end, Williams distracted the SmackDown superstar, thus giving Hayes some breathing space. This was just enough for Carmelo Hayes to dodge a diving moonsault and roll-up Ricochet for the pinfall victory.
Following the match, Carmelo Hayes took to Twitter to share his reaction to the match. The One and Only replied to the message with just one word.
"Ricochet thoβ¦.," Hayes tweeted.
Ricochet thoβ¦.π₯π―
