Carmelo Hayes surprised the WWE Universe last week when he cashed in his contract on the NXT North American Champion. Hayes went after Isaiah “Swerve” Scott moments after he emerged victorious from a contest against Santos Escobar.
The new NXT North American Champion came out to celebrate with Trick Williams by his side. The Final Boss did not waste any time and put himself over as the top champion in NXT 2.0.
Hayes was looking to have a good time on Tuesday night, but Johnny Gargano interrupted him. He wanted to get back in the ring and win the NXT North American Championship right away.
Trick Williams tried to intimidate Johnny Wrestling, but Dexter Lumis arrived to back up his on-screen father-in-law. Gargano took the NXT North American Championship from Carmelo.
Later on, Lumis invited Melo and Trick for a visit to the haunted house at Halloween Havoc if they wanted the title back.
NXT 2.0 did well to get Gargano back in the game. He had been away for some time and could prove to be the best first opponent for Carmelo. Lumis and Gargano work well together, and WWE should look to keep them paired up for some time.
