The current WWE United States Champion Trick Williams recently opened up about opportunities for him in wrestling. During an interview with The Takedown on SI, Williams stated that he doesn’t ask for titles or main event spots. He claimed that he proves to WWE management why he should be at the top. Williams said,
“My job ever since I came into the business, and this is the truth, and I never asked for anything more than just an opportunity to show what I can do. I don’t ask for titles, I don’t ask for main event spots, nothing. I want to take every single segment, every single opportunity that I have and make it feel like the main event. Make it feel like the most important thing on the show.”
“I believe if I could put that together back to back, back to back enough times, then everything will take care of itself. I don’t wanna just [say] I should be in the main [event]. No, I’ll show you exactly why I should be in the main event. All I want is the opportunity, and I let the people talk. I let the noise talk for itself. I’m not gonna beg for the opportunities I deserve.”
“How can we say we deserve anything, man? I’m grateful to be alive, to be breathing. You know what I mean? It ain’t about what you deserve. You know what I mean? Just go out there and prove it every single day. And that does all the talking for me. You know, all I need is the opportunity.”
Williams Calls Out WWE Hall Of Famer
During an interview with Brad Gilmore on the “Hall of Fame” podcast, Williams called out WWE Hall of Famer Booker T to a match. He said,
“I would’ve pitched it just like this. I mean, SummerSlam is gone but maybe next year at SummerSlam. Who knows? Maybe it’s for the WWE World Champion[ship]. Who knows? I’mma say Book. In the year 2027, [25] years ago, somebody made history. Two black men main eventing at SummerSlam for the first time ever. Hasn’t been done before. Hasn’t been done since. How’d you like to make yourself a two-time main event of SummerSlam against another black man? Not any black man.”
“That black man that is your polar strength, the one that you hand-sculpted yourself and said, ‘Trick Williams, look, this is how you want to approach the business. This is how you going to make yourself a superstar, Trick.’ Now, how would you, Booker T, like to step into the ring with that Trick Williams, the one who knows he’s a superstar with all the momentum in the world, with all the eyes watching, left, right, kids, grown folk, it don’t matter. Booker T vs. Trick Williams. Main event of SummerSlam for the championship. One more time.”
