Trick Williams, a two-time NXT champion, has officially made his debut on Smackdown, joining the roster as the blue brand expands to a three-hour broadcast. His arrival comes at a time when Smackdown is looking to bolster its lineup.
Williams made a notable entrance by interrupting the returning Sami Zayn, who had been addressing the audience about general manager Nick Aldis’ initiative to bring in new talent. During this heated exchange, Trick took the opportunity to belittle Zayn, asserting that he achieves results where Zayn fails. Zayn countered by suggesting that Williams still needs to learn humility.
Fans got a glimpse of Williams’ intentions during his appearance on last week’s Smackdown, where he hinted at his transition to the main roster. This move holds personal significance for him, as his fiancé, Lash Legend, is also part of the Smackdown lineup, making it a dream scenario for the couple.
Since joining WWE in 2021, Williams has built an impressive resume, including titles such as the NXT champion, NXT North American champion, and Iron Survivor Challenge winner, along with a history as a TNA champion. His addition to Smackdown is expected to inject fresh energy into the show and entertain fans with his dynamic personality and in-ring skills. The combination of Williams’ talents and the evolving landscape of Smackdown promises an exciting season ahead for WWE fans.
