Disqualification Finish Leaves Black Fuming After Hayes Steals the Moment
Summary
– Aleister Black and Carmelo Hayes deliver another high-level rematch
– The Miz interferes again, preventing a Black Mass and causing a DQ
– Hayes drops Black post-match with Nothing But Net in a heated finish
Carmelo Hayes may not have secured a clean win over Aleister Black, but he certainly left SmackDown standing tall. In a fast-paced rematch that mirrored their previous battle, Hayes and Black traded strikes, reversals, and near-falls in a display of top-tier athleticism.
Like last week, the match peaked with Black poised to hit the devastating Black Mass. This time, however, The Miz couldn’t stay on the sidelines. The veteran mentor jumped in, forcing a disqualification but saving his protégé from what likely would have been a knockout blow.
Aleister still got his shot, laying out The Miz with the Black Mass for the fourth consecutive week. But Hayes wasted no time, capitalizing with a ruthless knee to Black’s leg and planting him with Nothing But Net.
While the record books show a disqualification, the visual was all Hayes. And with Miz in his corner, it’s clear Hayes is playing the long game—no matter how dirty the path.
