After Carmelo Hayes hinted at involving his fiancée, Kelani Jordan, in a potential WWE main roster scenario, Jordan has responded subtly, fueling speculation among fans. The Carmelo Hayes WWE main roster storyline gained momentum following his United States Championship defense on SmackDown and his online remarks following the match.
Hayes Hints at Kelani Jordan’s Main Roster Debut
Coming off a win against Johnny Gargano on SmackDown, United States Champion Carmelo Hayes took to social media to propose a possible rematch against the #DIY member. Hayes also indicated that if Candice LeRae were to get involved in the future, he might call on Kelani Jordan to even the odds. His message to Gargano on X read:
“This was an NXT dream match and I actually got a lil bit of respect for you. We can run it back whenever, leave your wife in the back…or I can make a call and we can even it out,” Carmelo wrote.
Jordan, who currently competes in NXT, quickly replied to Hayes’ message with a subtle nod, hinting at her willingness to support him if needed. Although her response was understated, it did not go unnoticed by the WWE Universe, sparking buzz about the possibility of her joining Hayes on SmackDown.
The couple, together since 2023, announced their engagement on July 1, 2025, through a celebratory post on social media. Hayes has rapidly gained prominence after winning the United States Title from Ilja Dragunov, while Jordan continues to make her mark as part of the NXT roster.
Exchanges With Former Rival Andrade Highlight Hayes’ Journey
In addition to teasing his fiancée’s involvement, Carmelo Hayes received praise from former WWE star Andrade, who congratulated him on securing the United States Championship. Andrade’s supportive message recognized the hard work and skill Hayes has shown in his career thus far. Hayes responded to Andrade’s comments with gratitude, saying:
“Amigo! Glad I got to wrestle you all over the world! Got better every time I shared the ring with you! Thank you bro”
The two wrestlers share a history, having faced off in a Best of Seven series throughout 2024. Each competitor notched three wins, and the final contest ended in a disqualification caused by LA Knight, leaving the rivalry at an exciting standoff.
What’s Next for Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan?
With Carmelo Hayes firmly establishing himself as United States Champion on SmackDown, the prospect of Kelani Jordan appearing on the WWE main roster alongside him has fans eager for future developments. Their partnership, both in the ring and personally, continues to captivate audiences, and their involvement with notable figures such as Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, and Andrade further boosts their profiles. The WWE Universe now waits to see if Jordan will officially step onto the SmackDown stage and influence the dynamic of the ongoing feuds and championship picture.
