New Match Revealed for 12/13 WWE SmackDown

Carmelo Hayes will step into the ring on the December 13 episode of SmackDown against an unknown opponent.

During the December 6 show, Hayes confronted Aldis, threatening to transfer to WWE Raw in search of better opportunities. Aldis, ever sharp, quipped, “That’s not much of a threat—I’d love for you to be Adam Pearce’s problem.” Before Hayes could leave, Aldis dropped a bombshell, hinting at “someone special” lined up for Hayes on SmackDown’s next show.

Adding intrigue to the setup, WWE’s official YouTube titled the segment, “Nick Aldis makes a match for Carmelo Hayes against a new Superstar.” The description teases that Hayes will face SmackDown’s latest acquisition, fueling speculation about who his opponent might be. With the WWE transfer window in full swing, Hayes’ opponent could hail from Raw, NXT, or even an unexpected surprise debut.

• WWE Women’s U.S. Title Tournament Semifinals:
  • Bayley vs. Chelsea Green
  • Michin vs. Tiffany Stratton
• Carmelo Hayes vs. TBA
