The final Raw before Money in the Bank included an appearance by the NXT Champion.
In his Raw debut, Carmelo Hayes lost to Finn Balor last night. The match was set up when Hayes helped Seth Rollins during a brawl with Balor earlier in the show. Hayes stopped Balor from using a steel chair, which allowed Rollins to run Balor off.
A bond of mutual respect between Rollins and Hayes was formed when Rollins appeared at week one of NXT Gold Rush. During a promo last night, Rollins pointed out that Hayes was a special guest at Raw. Rollins thanked Hayes for having his back when he was attacked by Balor on NXT last week.
Hayes lost clean to Balor in their match. It ended with Balor pinning Hayes after hitting the Coup de Grace.
Balor is challenging Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank this Saturday. Hayes has an NXT Championship defense against Baron Corbin on week two of NXT Gold Rush tonight.
Balor's Judgment Day stablemate Damian Priest was in action against Cody Rhodes in last night's main event. Rhodes got the victory but was given a cheap shot by Dominik Mysterio after the match.
