John Cena’s triumphant return to WWE NXT after a decade-long absence sent shockwaves through the wrestling world this week. The beloved icon, often referred to as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time), made his presence felt by engaging with some of the top superstars in the promotion, notably Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes.
One particular backstage encounter between Carmelo Hayes and Cena left an intriguing twist in the story. Trick Williams, a close associate of Melo, found himself in a somewhat awkward situation. Williams entered Melo’s locker room to meet Cena, where the former NXT Champion issued a heartfelt apology for not being there to support his partner during a critical match known as “The Judgment Day.” He also expressed his belief that he would win the upcoming match against Bron Breakker, largely due to the 16-time World Champion, John Cena, being in his corner.
Trick Williams, however, did not appear overly pleased with Carmelo Hayes’ comments. He went on to question Cena, asking how he knew it was “his time.” This query sparked an immediate reaction from the lively WWE NXT crowd. The segment reached its culmination with John Cena, the seasoned veteran, extending his guidance and advice to the aspiring young star, Trick Williams.
While John Cena’s return didn’t overtly strain the relationship between Williams and Hayes, it did seem to cause Melo to momentarily disregard all the contributions Trick had made in the past. Cena’s presence might, in fact, play a role in mending the Trick-Melo relationship, as evidenced by the valuable advice Cena offered to the former NXT North American Champion.
The night’s main event featuring John Cena promised excitement and did not disappoint. Cena and Carmelo Hayes made their way to the squared circle for a highly-anticipated match between Melo and Bron Breakker. Breakker, introduced by the legendary Paul Heyman, showcased his wrestling prowess alongside Hayes, resulting in a thrilling spectacle for both the live audience and viewers at home.
As the match progressed, Breakker attempted to employ steel steps to eliminate Hayes from contention. However, John Cena intervened, seizing the steel steps and thwarting Breakker’s plans. Cena, in a surprising turn of events, used the steel steps to incapacitate Solo Sikoa, a development that left the audience in awe. Subsequently, Cena and Breakker engaged in a fierce backstage brawl, providing another layer of excitement to the night.
Carmelo Hayes capitalized on the chaos and distraction created by Cena’s intervention, securing a decisive victory over his opponent. The match’s conclusion left the WWE NXT universe buzzing with anticipation.
To add to the evening’s surprises, the legendary Undertaker made a surprise appearance to confront Bron Breakker, further intensifying the atmosphere and setting the stage for more dramatic developments in the weeks to come.
