Melo vs. The Mad Dragon II is set.
On September 12, Ilja Dragunov defeated Wes Lee to earn the right to challenge Carmelo Hayes for the NXT Championship at NXT No Mercy.
Melo has been waiting for this match since defeating Dragunov at NXT Great American Bash, thanks to some help from Trick Williams. Thanks to that assistance, Carmelo believes that there is a blemish on his record, and now he's looking to prove himself against The Mad Dragon.
