Carmelo Hayes has recently established himself on WWE’s SmackDown brand, capturing his first main roster championship last month. Meanwhile, Trick Williams has quickly made a significant impact since his January 2 call-up, headlining multiple shows and winning over the main roster audience.

Both wrestlers have gained enough popularity that their participation in the Royal Rumble would excite fans, especially if they start the match together. Given their long history, beginning the Royal Rumble side by side would symbolize a meaningful milestone in their careers.
