Carmelo Hayes was supposed to wrestle at WrestleMania 42, but somewhere along the way, WWE changed plans and pulled him from the card. For weeks, fans noticed Hayes was missing from the WrestleMania lineup, especially after his United States Title run ended. It turns out that wasnt always the plan. Hayes was actually scheduled to be part of the show about a month and a half ago before WWE made a late call to move in a different direction. The timing makes the situation stand out even more. Around that same stretch, Hayes lost the United States Championship to Sami Zayn after Trick Williams involvement backfired and led to the finish that cost him the title. That loss shifted the momentum quickly, and things didnt turn around after that. Hayes got another shot against Zayn on the April 3 episode of SmackDown, but the result stayed the same. Once that rematch was done, his path to WrestleMania started to disappear, while Zayn moved forward into a title defense against Trick Williams at the event. Now, instead of competing on the biggest show of the year, Hayes is completely off the WrestleMania 42 card despite originally being part of the plans. Theres still no confirmation on what his role would have been, but the fact that he was pulled late makes this situation stand out. For a rising star like Hayes, missing WrestleMania after already being penciled in is a tough break, especially during a year where he was heavily featured around the United States Championship picture.
