In an exclusive interview, WWE SmackDown star Trick Williams opened up about his initial main roster appearance, a moment that stands out as a unique anomaly in the typical career trajectory of a WWE Superstar. Williams, whose NXT debut came months after his initial main roster appearance, reflected on the events that led to this unusual turn of events.
A Unconventional Beginning
Williams’ path to the main roster was anything but traditional. Unlike many of his peers, who typically spend several months to a year honing their craft in NXT, Williams made his debut on the main roster before even stepping foot in the developmental brand. According to Trick, this was largely due to an unexpected opportunity that presented itself.
“I was in a situation where I had the chance to work on the main roster before NXT,” Williams explained. “It was a great experience, but it was also a bit overwhelming at the time. I was still learning the ropes, and there were a lot of talented individuals around me. But, you know, it was a great experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been on the main roster before NXT.”
A Brief but Memorable Appearance
At the time, Trick Williams was part of a group known as Apollo Crews’ crew, known as the Apollo Crews Alliance. Williams made a memorable appearance on the main roster alongside his fellow Superstars, including Apollo Crews and Dominik Mysterio. The group was short-lived, but it had a lasting impact on Trick’s career.
“It was a great experience working with Apollo and Dominik,” Williams said. “We had a good dynamic, and it was fun working together. Of course, it wasn’t a long-term thing, but it was a great opportunity to learn from some experienced Superstars.”
A New Chapter in NXT
After his initial main roster appearance, Williams made his way to NXT, where he would eventually find his footing and establish himself as a formidable competitor. His time in NXT was marked by a series of impressive victories, including a notable win over Wes Lee, which showcased his in-ring abilities and earned him the attention of WWE officials.
“Going to NXT was a great experience,” Williams said. “I got to work with a lot of talented Superstars, and I got to showcase my abilities in a different environment. It was a great opportunity to grow and develop as a performer.”
