Prior to the WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 pay-per-view event, Carmelo Hayes spoke with Denise Salcedo to discuss his main roster call-up and the criticism that has come with it. He said,
“It’s definitely been a learning experience. I’ve been talking about the fact of making that transition, especially coming in as a first round draft pick, where all eyes are on you. You know what I mean? There’s really the most criticism I’ve ever faced in my whole career. But that’s OK, because at this time, that’s what you get when you get that first round draft pick label. If you want to be him, you open up yourself to that type of criticism. But really, it’s just of like that up in my game to that next level, because there’s so many guys up there. that I’ve got to work with Cody and Randy and things like that that have taught me that there are so many different levels to this game and there’s levels that I would have never knew if I wasn’t in the ring with those guys. So it’s been an amazing process and I’m just getting started really and I’m looking forward to see what’s next.”
Titus O’Neil’s latest book, titled Wrestling with Fatherhood: My Championship Journey to My Greatest Title: Dad, will be released on September 24th.

After a decorated career in college football and WWE, Titus O’Neil considers being a father his greatest accolade.

This book details the numerous trials and tribulations along the way, offering guidance for those facing similar circumstances. Each chapter tackles an important parenting topic, replete with revealing anecdotes, advice, and commentary from celebrity friends.
O’Neil’s journey allows him to relate to a diverse audience of parents facing a multitude of challenges. This is his second book aimed at enriching the lives of children and families. His first, There Is No Such Thing as a Bad Kid, was published in 2019.
