Carmelo Hayes says it'll be "Him vs. Jim" on WWE SmackDown.
Carmelo Hayes has crossed paths with The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) multiple times in recent weeks on WWE SmackDown. Hayes previously said that he had reversals for all four of their moves, so he was ready to face them.
On January 17th, Carmelo Hayes took to Twitter/X and announced that he talked to Nick Aldis, and he was set to face Jimmy Uso on the January 17th episode of WWE SmackDown. Hayes told "Big Jim" to bring his working shoes.
