Tag team officially splits up on WWE SmackDown

Melo Donâ€t Miz is no more.

After Carmelo Hayes told Miz on Friday that they were done being a team, the former WWE Champion cemented the end of their association with one another by attacking Hayes from behind as he was challenging Sami Zayn for the United States Championship. Miz took out his now former tag team partner with the skull crashing finale, leaving Aleister Black to take the open challenge instead.

Minutes before, The Miz confronted Hayes backstage, asking why he didnâ€t make the save for him in their tag team match last week. Melo told Miz that he thought Miz was in his way and chose to end their relationship amicably.

The Miz and Melo have been associated with one another for most of the year, though Melo seemed reluctant to fully associate himself with Miz. A split had been hinted at in recent weeks, with Hayes choosing to focus more on winning the United States title instead of the Tag Team titles, which Miz wanted. The two did end up getting a number one contenderâ€s match on last weekâ€s SmackDown against The Street Profits, but Hayes chose not to help Miz as he was being pinned, causing this weekâ€s confrontation.
