Carmelo Hayes To Face 'New SmackDown Superstar' On Friday's WWE SmackDown

Carmelo Hayes will be in action on the December 13th episode of WWE SmackDown.

During the December 6th episode of WWE SmackDown, Carmelo Hayes met with WWE SmackDown GM Nick Aldis and threatened to transfer to WWE Raw. Aldis said that wasn't much of a threat, as he'd love for Carmelo to be the problem of Adam Pearce.

Aldis closed by saying that he has someone special in mind for Carmelo.

In the official YouTube upload, the title of the segment states, "Nick Aldis makes a match for Carmelo Hayes against a new Superstar."

The description reads, "SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis reveals that Carmelo Hayes will face SmackDown’s newest acquisition next week."

The WWE transfer window is open, implying that Carmelo's match could be against a member of the Raw or NXT brand who is joining WWE SmackDown.
