Who is Trick Williams and why is he on WWE Now at Fanatics Fest?
It's time for WWE Now. Let's welcome to the stage Sam Roberts and Megan Morant.
Thank you, everybody. Welcome to Fanatics Fest. How are we all doing?
Wow, you guys brought the energy today. What's going on?
I love this. Day one of Fanatics Fest already packed, already ready for some of the best experiences. Megan, is there anything specifically that you're looking forward to seeing, doing while we're here?
I am looking forward to the fan entrances during Fanatics Games.
Ah, superstar entrances. Anybody participating in Fanatics Fest games? No, no, no, no, no. Because that's where you separate the men from the boys, okay? Yeah, that's what they say. That's one of the highly competitive things happening at Fanatics Fest. But, you know, one of the big parts of this is, of course, shows like this. Getting the opportunity to do live podcasts in front of everybody. And it's not just about, you know, seeing myself, Sam Roberts, and Megan Morant, and WWE Now being represented online. but it's about seeing some of the biggest superstars in the world of sports and entertainment, specifically WWE. Megan, should we introduce our guest, do you think?
What do you guys think? Do you think it's time for us to introduce our guest? Should we bring him out here? The people want it.
Well then, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to WWE Now, the United States Champion, Trick Williams.
Oh, Trick Williams, everybody. Let's talk about it.
I love it. We had someone in the audience doing the little Booker T. We know they're an OG.
Wait, wait. Y'all know the ad lib for the Booker T and the Whoop That Trick anthem? Let me hear it now. Whoop that trick. Whoop that trick. Whoop that trick. Whoop that trick. Oh, yeah, man.
That's the best one. I like it. I like it. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. Right before we came out, they said, Sam, when the music plays, see if you can get the crowd to kind of whoop that trick along with it. And I said, I don't think I'm going to need... to do any work to get this crowd to chant those words with that song.
Every single time I come to New York, these fans know how to have a good time. What's up, New York, baby?
Trick, that's been the craziest part because a lot of us have been following your journey since your time on NXT. But immediately when you debuted on the main roster, that reaction was there from the jump. What was that like for you?
It's unbelievable. It's unreal. No pun intended. You know, just knowing that all the hard work that you put in over the years, the people recognize it. They love some of the views I have from the past. They know about the TNA, excuse me, the trick in a world title run I had over there. They know about trick mellow gang way back in the day. So I appreciate that love, man. And here we are today.
Was there any part of you when that debut happened, when you get to the main roster, that wondered whether or not the audience was going to know? Whether or not the audience was going to know to chant whoop that trick? Whether or not the audience was going to be familiar with exactly who you were? You know, no.
There it is. He said he was already going to know. But, you know, I knew no matter what happened, at the end of the night, everybody was going to be able to whoop that trick. And that's what happened.
That's exactly what happened. You know, a lot's been said about Booker T's commentary. And the Internet loves talking. The Internet always talks. But from your perspective, as somebody who was a part of one of the many times Booker T has invested fully from a commentary perspective, how important is it for you that Booker T did what Booker T does on commentary for you?
Man, Booker T is special, man. And I call him my uncle because I truly do believe that. Booker T is my uncle, y'all. Like, no, he saw me before a time when it was the popular belief that Trick Williams was gonna be the next big superstar or anything like that. Booker T, he saw me and he said, hey, look, man, I see what you're doing. I like what you're doing, but let me help you out. Let me show you how to, you know, look at that camera and pose this way so your muscles look good and talk a little bit more trash right here in this part of the game.
