Carmelo Hayes returned on the October 12, 2026 episode of WWE Raw and united with The 946 during its match against Solo Sikoa and The Usos. WWE’s dated highlight description confirms that Hayes prevented The Bloodline from winning. The development establishes his latest on-screen allegiance; it does not confirm reports or speculation about leaving WWE.
The episode followed Money in the Bank and took place at Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City, Louisiana, according to the contemporaneous Yahoo Sports/Sportsnaut recap. That sequence matters for readers catching up: the confrontation carried a rivalry from Saturday’s event into Monday’s Raw, before Hayes’s arrival changed the scene. The official episode page was still labelled a preview at our check, while WWE had already published the October 12 return highlight.
The six-man match began with two trios
WWE’s preview lists Royce Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price as The 946’s three competitors against Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. Hayes was not one of those six advertised starters. The relationship diagram keeps the original match participants separate from the returning wrestler who intervened, so his appearance is not mistaken for a previously announced fourth competitor in a six-man match.
The same preview explains the immediate background: Keys, Nima and Price appeared after Roman Reigns retained against LA Knight at Money in the Bank, and Jey, Jimmy and Solo confronted them. That account places the Raw match within a continuing Bloodline–946 conflict. It supplies the televised storyline context without establishing Hayes’s private motivation or why a creative decision was made behind the scenes.
A return and interference are different from a recorded win
The Yahoo/Sportsnaut results report says the six-man match ended in a no contest. WWE’s return-clip description confirms Hayes stopped The Bloodline from winning and joined The 946, but does not itself state a pinfall or submission result. Helping a faction attack its opponents and awarding that faction a recorded match victory are different claims; this report does not turn the interference into a win for The 946.
Nor should an on-screen alliance be treated as a real-world contract announcement. The official material reviewed here confirms the return and affiliation in that episode. It does not provide a contract end date, a transfer to another promotion or a statement about negotiations. The appearance updates what viewers saw, while those other questions would require separate evidence from the parties concerned.
Use the dated official clip to check the latest development
To catch up, open the linked WWE highlight dated October 12, then use the episode preview to identify the two original trios. The linked results report supplies the reported match finish. This route keeps a dated clip, an advance match announcement and a post-show recap in their proper roles, instead of treating an older departure headline or a changing social profile as the latest confirmed event.
The next useful checks are WWE’s later results update and subsequent episodes showing how the alliance develops. A future official announcement could answer separate contractual questions, but the October 12 material does not do so. For now, the supported answer is a return alongside The 946, with Hayes’s intervention distinguished from both the match’s recorded outcome and speculation about employment.
WWE’s dated return highlight and preview were read directly. The no-contest finish is attributed to Yahoo/Sportsnaut; onscreen affiliation does not establish a contract change.
