Former WWE NXT Champion Trick Williams has officially made the leap to WWE’s main roster, marking a significant milestone in his wrestling career after excelling in the “Yellow and Gold” brand. In a recent appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show,” Williams shared his excitement about stepping into the same locker room as some of WWE’s biggest stars, including a rapid confrontation with wrestling veteran Randy Orton.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the call-up, Williams noted, “Man, it’s about time! You know what I mean? You can’t cook your grits too long.” He reflected on his hard work and the competitive environment within the rosters of both “Raw” and “SmackDown,” acknowledging that he feels he belongs in this elite company. “I couldn’t wait, and now we’re here,” he stated, conveying his eagerness to showcase his talents on a larger stage.
Williams also shed light on the somewhat unconventional way he learned of his promotion. “You get a text message from a random number. ‘Congratulations! You are needed for creative!’” he recounted. He humorously mentioned his initial skepticism about the message’s authenticity, leading to a wave of relief when he realized it was legitimate. He noted that along with the text, notifications through an app guided him on how to proceed towards his new opportunity.
With newfound confidence, Williams commented on his feelings upon receiving the text, emphasizing that it felt like a long-awaited event. He even joked about exploring other wrestling companies like TNA if this moment didn’t materialize sooner.
Williams’ transition to the main roster not only signifies his growing presence in professional wrestling but also highlights the ongoing journey of talent development within WWE. His determination and readiness to seize his opportunities reflect a hopeful outlook for his future in the wrestling industry.
