Trick Williams vs. Carmelo Hayes Officially Announced For NXT Stand & Deliver
Former friends clash.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated first reported that Trick Williams will face Carmelo Hayes at NXT Stand & Deliver.
Williams issued the challenge to Hayes on Tuesday’s NXT.
The former best friends had a bitter split at NXT Vengeance Day when Hayes turned on Williams and revealed himself as the man who attacked Williams way back in October 2023.

From WWE:
Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes will go head-to-head when the former friends collide at NXT Stand & Deliver inside the Wells Fargo Center.
As a team, Trick Melo Gang dominated NXT with Hayes capturing the North American Championship twice and the NXT Championship once, solidifying themselves as the most dominant duo in the locker room.
As Hayes’ star shined bright, Williams started to become a star on his own, causing some jealousy in his partner and culminating in a mysterious beatdown after Williams became the 2023 Iron Survivor.
Williams lost his eventual NXT Title Match against the Superstar that dethroned Hayes, Ilja Dragunov, at Vengeance Day, and a post-match attack from Hayes destroyed their friendship for good.
Don’t miss this epic encounter between former friends at NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday, April 6, streaming live at noon ET/9 a.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
