Just when you thought WWE was done with its storytime, they pull you back in with a plot twist straight out of a soap opera. Trick Williams, NXT’s latest sensation, has officially closed the chapter on his long-running feud with Carmelo Hayes in a steel cage showdown that left fans gasping for more. After climbing to victory on April 16, the burning question isn’t just “how high did he climb?” but “where to next?”
Despite whispers and wishful thinking about Williams’ potential jump to the bright lights of “Raw” or “Smackdown,” it seems the WWE scriptwriters have other plans. According to the wrestling grapevine at Fightful Select, while WWE bigwigs are indeed impressed with Williams, they’ve decided to keep him as the star of the NXT universe a little longer. And why not? The man has drama written all over him.
The plot thickens with a potential summer sizzle as Williams might be throwing down with DIJAK—pending DIJAK’s contract renewal, of course. It’s like waiting for your favorite TV show to get renewed for another season.
Adding to the drama, Williams is set to challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship at the “Spring Breakin'” event. Here’s the kicker: if Williams loses, he’s got to pack his bags and say goodbye to NXT. But hold the phone—Dragunov himself might be getting drafted out of NXT, which could leave the title up for grabs. It’s like musical chairs, but with more body slams.
Sources suggest that keeping Williams in NXT not only spices up the show but gives him more room to grow, possibly into the next big WWE superstar. After all, everyone loves a good underdog story, especially when it’s served with a side of high-flying wrestling moves.
