Trick Williams, who comes from a football background has made quite an impact in the pro wrestling landscape. Williams has gained massive popularity over the last few months and fans start “WHOOP THAT TRICK” chants whenever he shows up. He has certainly become a breakout star of WWE’s developmental brand. Williams has been associated with the former NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and they are currently thriving as a tag team.
Ahead of the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, the WWE SmackDown go-home edition on January 26 emanated from Miami, Florida. A rematch between Carmelo Hayes and Austin Theory saw the latter securing the win. However, following the match, Theory and Grayson Waller attacked Hayes.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Trick Williams recalled the positive reception from the crowd when he showed up on SmackDown. He said that it was a ‘dream come true’ for him.
”Honestly, it’s a dream come true (reaction he received at 1/26 WWE SmackDown). I think that’s the feeling that every wrestler wants to feel. Running out when you hear your music being played. So, beyond my imagination. Who thinks their first debut is gonna sound like that? So, I’m grateful for.’
Williams will have to pull off double duty this Sunday at NXT Vengeance Day. He is set to team up with Carmelo Hayes and take on Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Finals. Later in the main event, Williams will challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship.
