Carmelo Hayes had the biggest moment of his WWE career on SmackDown last Friday, where he defeated Ilja Dargunov to become the new United States Champion. Hayes defended the title for the first time at a live event in Rochester, where he defeated The Miz to walk out with the gold.

#2. Veteran believes Megastar disappeared from WWE due to a serious falling out with Triple H

The Rock has not been seen on WWE programming since Elimination Chamber, where John Cena turned heel. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo believes that the reason behind the megastar's absence could be a falling out with Triple H:

"Bro, I gotta tell you something. The only thing I see is I am convinced by looking at the landscape and what’s been going on for especially the last year and what not. I believe there is heat between Triple H and The Rock. I believe there are camps. I believe there are sides. I believe The Rock is laying low in the weeds," said Vince Russo.

The Rock seemingly wanted to turn Cody Rhodes heel, but Triple H and Co. were not on board with the idea. Many believe that this could have caused issues between the two. However, nothing of that sort has ever been confirmed.
