This WWE Star Is Not Leaving The Company

Reports suggesting that Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan had secretly gotten married appear to have been premature. According to Bodyslam+, the photos and video that circulated on social media — shared by a photographer and videographer hired by the couple — were actually from their engagement ceremony last July, not a wedding. The confusion arose from the nature of the imagery, which led many fans and observers to conclude the two had tied the knot.

Hayes is not expected to take any time off during the current WWE WrestleMania season, though his specific plans for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas remain unknown at this point. His WWE Intercontinental Championship reign of 98 days came to an end recently when Trick Williams — his former friend — interfered and allowed Sami Zayn to capitalize and win the title via pinfall.

Carmelo Hayes’ WWE Future Following His Intercontinental Championship Loss to Sami Zayn

The circumstances of Hayes losing the Intercontinental Championship to Zayn carry significant storyline weight. Trick Williams’ interference was a betrayal that sets up what figures to be a compelling WrestleMania 42 match between the two former allies. Zayn is now confirmed to defend the championship against Williams in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19. Where Hayes fits into the WrestleMania picture beyond that remains to be seen, but a performer of his caliber and momentum rarely stays out of the spotlight for long.
