Carmelo Hayes is the latest superstar to claim victory at Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale, and the former NXT champion now has a new nickname. April 25th edition WWE SmackdownHayes was presented with a special Andre the Giant Pendant by his ally Miz. The pendant features the iconic WWE Hall of Fame face that tragically passed away in 1993.
Accepting his growing connection to the legendary giant, Hayes declared himself “the tenth wonder of the world.” The nickname pays tribute to Andre, long recognized as the eighth wonder of the world, and to Chyna, who held the ninth title. On social media platform X, Hayes teased a tweak of his new moniker version, solidifying his brand even further.
It was a big night for Carmelo Hayes, but things didn’t go well either for The Miz, a partner on his “Melo Dot Miz” tag team. The two-time Grand Slam champion lost to Aleister Black, who returned in the same episode smack down.
