The latest episode of WWE NXT saw Carmelo Hayes enter the ring, chair in hand, amidst a chorus of boos from the audience. Later in the show, he addressed his actions, asserting that his attack on Trick Williams. Hayes revealed that Trick’s pursuit of the NXT Championship had fractured their bond, prompting him to take matters into his own hands. He concluded by affirming that he was the one who attacked Williams backstage a few months ago on NXT.
Rhea Ripley, the reigning WWE Women’s World Heavyweight Champion, responded to Carmelo’s explanation. She took to Twitter, reacting with a clapping emoji, indicating her approval of Carmelo’s actions.
Check out her tweet below:
Fans might recall that Carmelo Hayes has a history with Judgment Day, during which Rhea Ripley also warned him not to interfere in their business. This led to Carmelo clashing with Finn Balor on an episode of RAW and facing consequences from the faction for his interference.
Is Rhea Ripley adding another member to The Judgement Day?
Rhea Ripley’s cryptic approval of Carmelo Hayes’ vicious attack on Trick Williams has NXT buzzing. Does she see Hayes’ ruthlessness mirroring Judgment Day’s? Is this a subtle hint at a potential new member of the faction?
The timing is interesting. Judgment Day’s recent acquisition, JD McDonagh, has been struggling on RAW. Could mounting losses lead to McDonagh’s departure, paving the way for Hayes’ entry into the faction?
With Hayes now embroiled in a bitter rivalry with Williams, the possibilities are endless. Will he fully embrace Judgment Day’s dark path, or will NXT fans see a clash between him and Williams? One thing’s certain: Ripley’s clap has ignited a firestorm among fans.
