Trick Williams has wasted little time making an impression on WWE’s main roster. The former NXT Champion has only been officially added to the Raw and SmackDown rosters for less than a month, but his impact has already been felt. A 31-year-old, Williams has been thrust into a high-profile scenario in recent fights against established foes. His play has caught the attention of fans and vets similarly.
Early Main Roster Success
Since being promoted, Williams has squared off against Rey Fénix, Matt Cardona, and Randy Orton. Each appearance has helped showcase his confidence and growing polish. WWE has clearly positioned him in meaningful spots early on. That faith seems to be paying off, as responses to his work are only trending upward. One impressive figure is WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, “The World’s Strongest Man” delivered glowing praise for the rising star. Henry confessed that Williams aroused passions he hadn’t felt in years. He added, “I haven’t really genuinely wanted to go back for a long time.This dude walking to the ring gets me fired up. He makes me want to wrestle again. That’s the effect that Trick had on me. Man, it’s the energy and the smugness, like the dude’s got it. He talks the talk, he walks the walk, he’s got the look.”
Henry’s Rare Praise
The comments are notable given Henry’s own career history. He never officially had a retirement match and has not wrestled since April 2018. It was his final singles match, which took place in March 2017. For a talent to inspire such a reaction speaks volumes about Williams’ presence and charisma.
Williams kept her momentum going this week, pinning even more shoulders at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He fought alongside and against big names such as Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, and Damian Priest. And the match offered him yet another stage on which to show off his athleticism and his cool under pressure. Once again, he looked comfortable under the spotlight.
As WWE shapes its future stars, Trick Williams appears to be firmly in the conversation. Early reactions from legends like Mark Henry suggest the company may have found something special. If this pace continues, Williams’ rise could accelerate faster than many expected.
