As can be inferred from the reactions, most of the fans enjoyed the match a lot. Many delivered their wishes to Melo for a bright future. Many have even started weaving the dream match scenario with Logan Paul at Royal Rumble 2024. Some even expressed their concerns about how WWE has a history of fumbling the pushes for younger talent. They don’t want to see the same happening with Melo.

All in all, the fans are excited about what’s in store for Hayes. With no reports and teases in sight, the future is bright for the A-Champ Scheduled to face the Prizefighter. However, the question persists whether Melo is here to stay or return to NXT to sort out his unfinished business.
