As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, The Motor City Machine Guns are expected to make their WWE debut on next week’s episode of NXT in Chicago, IL.
While appearing on the “Battleground” podcast, Tommaso Ciampa expressed his desire to work with the duo. He said,
“That’s the natural go to. Whether it’s our styles or our size, everyone seems to pair us and those guys together. They’ve influenced tag team wrestling for two decades now. We’ve taken stuff from them, concepts and ideas. I’ve never wrestled either one of them, in singles or tag, my entire career. It would be really cool to have that happen on a WWE stage for the first time.”
He continued, “I know Johnny has a pretty good relationship with Shelley and has known him forever. I love those guys. He loves those guys. We see the same rumors that yall see. If we can get the tag division to a point where we have four, five, six different top acts at once, that’s when you’re in it. The more competition, the merrier. I welcome that. It elevates your game and forces you to elevate. I think the crowd will take to them extremely fast and well. I hope it happens. I probably want it to happen more than some of the fans.”
Carmelo Hayes says a run with the WWE United States Championship is inevitable.
Hayes, who recently lost a US Championship #1 contenders match to Andrade, appeared on “The Ringer’s Masked Man Show” to comment on his plans to capture the United States title. He said,
“It’s inevitable. It’s my fate, it’s my destiny, you know what I mean? The United States championship, you look at all of the guys that held that previously, it’s the perfect first title for a guy. Especially a guy like me, who does take a lot of pride in my work rate. They talk about the mid card titles being the work rate titles, the Intercontinental and things like that. I definitely take pride in my work, so I want to excel in other areas as well and I think that’s the perfect title to learn.”
He continued, “To be in that position where you have people coming after you is the perfect time to learn, that’s why I think I enjoy being champion so much in NXT because it was like, you come for me, you come for me, and that makes me have to work harder.”
