Carmelo Hayes Credits The Miz For Giving Him Advice At Low Points, ‘He’s A Necessary Person To Have Around’

Carmelo Hayes gives praise to The Miz.

Hayes is currently a featured star on the SmackDown brand, as he is the reigning United States Champion. There was a time where Hayes was much lower on the card, but during that period, The Miz had some sound advice for him.

“He’s a cool dude despite what people want to portray him as or whatever.” Hayes said when speaking about Miz in a new interview with Good Karma Wrestling. “He’s necessary, if that makes sense. He’s a necessary person to have around. I remember at one point, despite whatever we have going on storyline wise, I just said, ‘Thank you bro for being here’. I’m like, ‘I’m so happy you’re here.’ I just had to tell him that, I was like, ‘I’m just so happy I’m here and you’re here at the same time and I’m getting to learn from you.’ Because there’s a lot of times where I was feeling low. Like, I don’t know what’s going on and the only person that’s ever been able to explain it to me is The Miz, because he’s been high, he’s been low, he’s been in the middle. He’s done it so many times. He gave me a great quote I guess, or some advice. He said, ‘When you’re at the top it’s gonna be easy because you figured out how to manage at the bottom.’ I was like ‘Dang, that’s so true.’ He was like ‘Yeah, just wait, everybody gets a turn.’ Not everybody gets their turn but when you’re good you’re gonna get chosen at some point right?”

Hayes is set to compete in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying match on the February 20 episode of WWE SmackDown. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
