Carmelo Hayes has evened things up in his feud with Andrade by scoring a pinfall on El Idolo on this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
Earlier in the show, Andrade approached LA Knight backstage. Since Andrade had offered a handshake to the United States Champion last week after their match, and Knight hesitated and tried to go for a fist bump instead, Andrade explained that Knight lost his respect. Knight was then jumped from out of nowhere by Hayes, leading into their match.
After a commercial break, Andrade and Hayes went at it for the sixth match in their series. Largely an even contest, Knight eventually came out to get involved, causing a distraction that Hayes was able to capitalize on with a roll-up. With that, Hayes tied the score between them to 3-3.
Naturally, Andrade was upset with Knight after the match, and when Knight offered a handshake as an apology, it was Andrade this time that walked off in anger.
