Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams are having a long-standing beef with each other that will culminate in a steel cage match on next week’s WWE NXT. Following his big win over former NXT Champion Hayes in the main event of last Saturday’s Stand & Deliver PLE, Williams came out on the post-PLE episode and made his intentions clear of going after Ilja Dragunov’s NXT Title.
The champion initially refused to accept the challenge during the confrontation, but he eventually agreed to put the title on the line under one stipulation which suggests that if Trick loses then he will have to leave NXT.
Carmelo Hayes also appeared on WWE NXT during this segment to launch an attack on Williams and Dragunov. After laying both out to end the show, he ended up challenging Williams to a steel cage match. Presumed to be on the card of Spring Breakin’ 2024, that match was rather inserted into next week’s show.
