WWE's Carmelo Hayes Attacks Solo Sikoa and Aligns Himself with the Sinister 946 Group

Carmelo Hayes Unmasks as the Attacker Who Beat Solo Sikoa With a Crowbar, Officially Joins the 946 Group on 'Monday Night Raw'

WWE star Royce Keys was "born" to be in pro wrestling

That's a question many WWE fans have been asking for nearly two months since Hayes was out of ring action following his appearance on Friday Night SmackDown on August 14th. In that match, he was gunning for the United States Championship but lost to Baron Corbin.

Since then it was radio silence. Meanwhile, Trick Williams reclaimed the United States Championship from Corbin and competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match over the weekend. Hayes blacked out his profile picture on X, leaving many fans wondering if he could potentially leave the company.

These rumors and speculations ended on Monday night.

The 946 - a faction consisting of Royce Keys, Lucien Price, Bronco Nima and Jaida Parker - had a men's tag team match with Jay and Jimmy Uso and Solo Sequoia. It was an all-out fight from the start. Price, Nima and Parker managed The Usos and took the feud to the crowd. Jey Oso jumped a barricade in the stands to take out his teammates, while Parker chased after him and took them all out.

At ringside, Keys was ready to put Sequoia through the table. Sequoia fought him off and pulled Keys back into the squared circle. He ran into him and was about to deliver the Samoan Spike when a masked man came out and hit Sequoia with a crowbar.

Hayes pulled down the bandana covering his face and revealed himself as the latest WWE Superstar to align himself with the 946. The group continued their attack on The Bloodline.

The 946 has proven to be a formidable force on the Raw roster and continued to show that on Monday. Bloodline has instilled a legacy as the top stable in WWE for years, but the 946 is the only real team they've fought.

There is only one way to end the first season of competition between teams - WarGames.

Roman Reigns seemed to be the target at 946 after Money in the Bank. The group appeared on Saturday night after Reigns defeated the Los Angeles Knight to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

He has largely left the responsibility of handling 946 to his family members. But for the most part, the 946 has the upper hand.

Reigns was at the premiere of "Street Fighter" in California on Monday night and went on another winning streak after defeating Knight.

Reigns is scheduled to appear on "Monday Night Raw" next week.
