Carmelo Hayes is not done with Trick Williams yet.
Former friends and tag team partners Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams have been feuding for months, as Carmelo turned on Trick and put him on the shelf with a vicious attack at NXT Vengeance Day. Williams returned and set his sights on vengeance. Trick defeated Hayes in the main event of NXT Stand & Deliver, but their rivalry is not over.
Williams came to the ring on the April 9 episode of WWE NXT and called out NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov. He challenged Ilja to a title match, and Ilja initially refused before he named his stipulation. He told Trick that if he lost, he would have to leave NXT. Trick accepted the terms, but Carmelo Hayes interrupted by attacking him and Dragunov. Hayes told Williams that he would not make it to the title match at NXT Spring Breakin', as they would face each other in a Steel Cage Match on the April 16 episode of NXT.
