Carmelo Hayes Drops Steph Curry Meme amid WWE Fans' Backlash for Not Being on SummerSlam Card

After being left off this weekend's WWE SummerSlam card, Carmelo Hayes took to social media to offer an apparent reaction.

In a post on X, Hayes shared a photo of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sitting on the bench with a blank look on his face:

Multiple fans also chimed in and expressed both confusion and disappointment over Hayes not making it onto another major card:

There was some thought that Hayes would be added to the United States Championship match between Trick Williams and Baron Corbin since Corbin returned to the company a few weeks ago by interrupting a match between Trick and Melo.

Instead, Hayes was essentially removed from the angle entirely, and WWE decided to move ahead with a Williams vs. Corbin singles match on Night 2 of SummerSlam on Sunday.

The situation is reminiscent of WrestleMania 42 earlier this year when Hayes was not included in the U.S. title match between Williams and Sami Zayn despite him being heavily involved with the United States Championship for months leading up to it.
