Carmelo Hayes isnt hiding his frustration after missing WrestleMania 42, but hes making it clear that hes staying ready for when WWE finally gives him the shot he believes he deserves. Hayes lost the United States Championship to Sami Zayn on the March 27 episode of SmackDown, and after dropping a rematch the following week, his path to WrestleMania was shut down. With Zayn now set to defend the title against Trick Williams at WrestleMania 42, Hayes is once again watching the biggest show of the year from the sidelines. While speaking to Nightcap, Hayes was asked how he handles missing WrestleMania and what keeps him motivated despite not being on the card. Hayes explained that his mindset hasnt changed, and he believes he only needs one real opportunity to prove himself at the highest level. He continued by comparing WWE success to being handed an opportunity in sports, saying that talent alone isnt always enough you still need someone to give you the chance. Hayes made it clear that patience is part of the process, even if it means missing major moments like WrestleMania. Instead of complaining, hes focused on being prepared so that when his moment finally comes, he wont waste it. Missing WrestleMania for the second year in a row is a tough break for a former United States Champion, especially after being so close to staying in the title picture. Still, Hayes sounds confident that his opportunity will come and when it does, he believes hell deliver. Do you think Carmelo Hayes should have been part of the WrestleMania 42 card this year, or is WWE taking the right approach by making him wait for the right moment?
