Carmelo Hayes is one step closer to facing John Cena in his final match and is moving on within the “Last Time is Now” tournament with a victory over Bronson Reed on “WWE SmackDown,” because of some help from Cody Rhodes and his WarGames team. Reed initially got here out with just Paul Heyman, but when Hayes was getting the upper hand within the bout, Logan Paul and Bron Breakker appeared.
At one point within the match, Reed turned Hayes inside out with a clothesline and the previous NXT Champion rolled out of the ring, and the camera cut to Breakker gearing up for a brilliant spear. The move was intercepted by The Usos who took out Breakker and Paul, evening the percentages. Heyman got up on the apron because the match was happening to distract the referee. Reed and Hayes were on the skin, and before Reed could decimate his opponent, Rhodes got here from the group and hit Reed with a Cross Rhodes on the ground. The champion threw Hayes back within the ring and Reed couldn’t make it back inside before the ten count.
After the match, Rhodes cut a scathing promo on the opposing WarGames team, after McIntyre took him out on his own bus at first of the show. He told McIntyre he wasn’t done with him, told Paul nobody cares about his big moves, made fun of Reed for taking losses, and told Breakker a Rhodes was at all times historically higher than a Steiner. Rhodes looked down the camera and told an absent Brock Lesnar to recollect who was the last person to beat him.
He turned to Heyman and said that each one Heyman did was make stars for Rhodes to beat them. He ended the impassioned promo by saying that WarGames was his birthright, and he’ll see everyone in San Diego.
