In recent months a number of NXT stars have been called up to the main roster including Trick Williams, Lash Legend, Oba Femi and Jordynne Grace. Trick Williams achieved great success in NXT, and it’s clear that he’s been connecting with the fans in a big way ever since he joined the SmackDown brand.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that there’s a push for Trick Williams to be presented as a babyface as the sentiment is that Williams connects with the WWE crowd in a strong way.
Conversations regarding a potential babyface turn for Trick Williams took place before he debuted on the main roster, but the discussion has re-emerged due to the reaction he’s been receiving from the fans recently.
Since joining Friday Night SmackDown, Trick Williams has been presented as a top star as he’s been involved in segments with names such as Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.
Trick Williams will compete in arguably the biggest match of his career so far when he steps into the Elimination Chamber this weekend. The former NXT Champion will face off against Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, LA Knight and Je’Von Evans, and the winner will go on to challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania.
