In a heart-stopping turn of events, WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes narrowly escaped a potentially devastating injury during a recent match on "SmackDown." Following a dangerous fall off the top rope, Hayes and his opponent Austin Theory were promptly evaluated for injuries. Thankfully, both wrestlers were diagnosed with face contusions and are expected to make a full recovery.

The alarming incident occurred during a high-flying maneuver, believed to be an attempted Spanish Fly. As Hayes and Theory crashed down on the mat, their necks bending at alarming angles, the referee swiftly intervened and halted the match. Both competitors were unable to continue, leading to significant concerns for their well-being.

Providing an update on his condition and alleviating worries, Carmelo Hayes took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to share a GIF of The Undertaker dramatically sitting up in a coffin, indicating his own fortunate escape from serious harm.

While no official statement has been released regarding the status of Hayes and Theory beyond Hayes' post, the wrestling community is relieved to know that both competitors are expected to be okay. The severity of their injuries, however, remains undisclosed.

The match itself was set up through a backstage interaction between Hayes and "SmackDown" GM Nick Aldis. Hayes had expressed his interest in participating in the men's Royal Rumble, leading to a brief conversation between Hayes and Aldis. Their discussion was interrupted by Austin Theory and his partner Grayson Waller, sparking a heated exchange and ultimately resulting in a scheduled match.

It is unclear at this point whether Hayes' participation in the episode and his meeting with GM Nick Aldis signify a permanent promotion to the main roster. Additionally, the implications of Hayes' match on his eligibility for the upcoming Royal Rumble event are yet to be determined.

As fans eagerly await further updates on Carmelo Hayes and Austin Theory's recovery, the WWE universe remains relieved that the incident did not result in more severe consequences. The world of professional wrestling can be perilous, but it is moments like these that highlight the resilience and fortitude of its athletes.
