WWE

A WWE star has commented on an in-ring moment from SmackDown, stating that he had that moment planned for almost a year.

The February 6 edition of SmackDown saw US Champion Carmelo Hayes face off against The Miz.

During the match, The Miz blocked Hayes’ Codebreaker, and attempted to hit his Skull Crushing Finale finishing move.

Hayes reversed this however, rolling away before finally dropping The Miz with a Codebreaker, as you can see in the GIF below.

Carmelo Hayes took to Twitter following the match to note that he had been waiting to use this reversal for almost a year.

The US Champion wrote:
