  "account": "WWE's Carmelo Hayes made his return to television on Raw following the Money In The Bank event on August 14th. The former United States Champion has joined forces with Royce Keys, Lucien Price, Bronco Nima, and Jaida Parker to form The 946 faction. This alliance was revealed amidst a chaotic main event brawl between The 946 and The Bloodline. Hayes' involvement in the group was initially questioned, as he had removed his social media profile picture, fueling speculation about a potential release from WWE. However, it seems this was not the case, and Hayes' return is part of a strategic plan to elevate his status on the roster. He is expected to engage in more heelish violence on Monday nights, a departure from his previous face persona on Fridays. This move is also anticipated to bolster The 946's position against The Bloodline leading up to WarGames at Survivor Series next month.",
