There may be an unexpected addition to the club’s global fanbase after a WWE star was pictured holding up a Liverpool scarf in recently captured pictures.
Liverpool’s worldwide appeal has seen athletes from a range of sports publicly show their support for the club over the years and a member of the WWE family may have just added himself to that list.

Whether he is a lifelong Red or simply embracing the opportunity during WWE’s latest visit to England, Carmelo Hayes pictured holding a Liverpool scarf above his head will generate plenty of excitement among supporters.
The 31-year-old has established himself as one of WWE’s fastest rising talents over the last few years. Born in Massachusetts, Hayes first made his name in the independent wrestling circuit before signing with WWE in 2021.
Hayes shared a photo to his Instagram holding a Liverpool scarf alongside a message thanking fans across the continent, writing: “Thank you England, Spain, Portugal, France and Italy for all the love. One of the best experiences of my career. Be back soon.”
The image has caught the attention of supporters online, with many Reds wondering whether the WWE star has quietly revealed his footballing loyalties.
One thing is certain. The next time Carmelo Hayes arrives in the UK, Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on his social media to see whether he further confirms that he is a member of Anfield’s faithful.
