• SmackDown Star Denies Claim That Paul Heyman Refused To Work With Him Due To Racism
Carmelo Hayes was a standout star in NXT, but since his main roster call-up to SmackDown, he has largely been stuck in the mid-card.
Many fans feel he deserves the kind of push that Bron Breakker has received on RAW, but so far, WWE hasn’t positioned him as a top-tier talent on the blue brand.
A recent post from a fan on X claimed that WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, who has creative input backstage, refused to work with Hayes and chose to have Logan Paul join The Vision instead of the former NXT Champion.
“Sources in WWE have said that Paul Heyman refuses to work with Carmelo Hayes, couldn’t even look at him in the eyes during the meeting in Creative and [Heyman] pitched Logan Paul to be part of The Vision instead. Man this fat pig really is racist.”
Hayes addressed the claim in the following tweet:
“Idk what you were trying to accomplish with this bullsh*t post. This couldn’t be further from the truth.”
• John Cena Issues Statement After Becoming Intercontinental Champion
New Intercontinental Champion John Cena issued the following statement after becoming Grand Slam Champion on last night’s WWE RAW:
“Thank you Boston. It meant so much to be able, for one last time, to be allowed an opportunity to do what I love, in a place I love, surrounded by those I love. Our performances are only meaningful if YOU the audience invest in us and decide they are.
The smile on my face and awe in my eyes in this small clip is an honest show of grateful disbelief & appreciation for all you’ve ever invested in me.
Last night meant more than I can ever express. Thank you Boston.”

• Finn Balor Pokes Fun At Dominik Mysterio After Intercontinental Title Loss
Dominik Mysterio’s decision to disrespect John Cena on last night’s RAW backfired spectacularly, costing him the Intercontinental Championship. The interruption during Cena’s farewell appearance in Boston led to Dirty Dom losing the title and watching Cena become a Grand Slam Champion.
The pro wrestling world celebrated the GOAT’s historic win, and some even poked fun at Dirty Dom.
The former Intercontinental Champion wasn’t safe even from his own stablemate, Finn Balor, who took to X to throw shade at him. Here’s what he posted:
“I woke up and I’m having a wonderful day!”
Dominik wasn’t happy with The Judgment Day after his title loss. Here’s what he said:
“I don’t understand what happened. Where’s Finn? Where’s JD? Raquel? Roxanne? Anybody? Anybody? Where is The Judgment Day? Where is The Judgment Day when you need them, huh? Honestly, it doesn’t even matter. I’m still holding gold. I was cheated out there by my so called boss, Triple H. Putting me there. Where is my family!? Why am I doing this?”
