This Friday night, Carmelo Hayes is aiming for his first taste of championship gold on the WWE main roster. WWE has confirmed that LA Knight will defend his United States Championship against Hayes on this week’s episode of SmackDown, taking place at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.
Hayes earned his shot at the title after a big victory over AJ Styles last Friday. Before the match, LA Knight promised Hayes a title opportunity if he could defeat Styles. The match ended with Hayes being declared the winner by referee stoppage after Styles was unable to continue due to an injury. However, Hayes’ celebration was short-lived as LA Knight attacked him after the decision was announced.
While Hayes has his sights set on the U.S. title, he’s also been involved in an intense feud with Andrade on SmackDown. The two are currently tied at 3-3, and a decisive seventh match is likely to come in the near future to settle their rivalry once and for all.

Roman Reigns, “The OTC” (Original Tribal Chief), will make an appearance. WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will defend their titles against Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson).
