Trick Williams looks primed to have a lot of success in WWE but continues to grow in his career.
Williams first signed with WWE where he was quickly paired with Carmelo Hayes on television. In 2021, after playing football. Thus far in his WWE career, he is a former one-time NXT North American Champion and the 2023 Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge winner.
After Hayes turned on him, they worked a match at this year’s WWE NXT Stand & Deliver premium live event, where Williams went over. This week on NXT, they had a blowoff bout inside of a steel cage.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shared his opinion of Williams.
“Trick isn’t that good. That’s the reality. He’s got incredible, incredible charisma, but you put them in the main event match. And granted, he did look really good with Ilja [Dragunov] but you know, Ilja is one of those people that gives you the false perception of the ability of the other person. It’s like wrestling Ric Flair or The Young Bucks. They always look better somehow, like you watch all these tag teams into young Bucks. Oh, my God, these guys are great. But they’re never great against anybody else. You know, and Ilja’s the same way. You know, like just whatever the Yeah, I mean, that’s, I thought the match was good. But yeah, it was like it’s good. It’s a cage match,” Meltzer stated.
Baron Corbin came to the defense of Williams as seen below:
Trick is dope and gets better every time he steps in the ring! Charisma connects you to the people, the people buy your merch and tune in to see you. They don’t give a shit if you’re the best technical wrestler ever. Trick will be extremely successful!
