Nattie Praises Trick Williams, Compares Him to The Rock

During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Superstar Nattie Neidhart heavily praised SmackDown’s Trick Williams, comparing him to The Rock. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Nattie on Trick Williams

“There’s just something about him, and TJ and I were saying this last night, there’s just something about him that you want to continue to watch him. And I feel like he’s very solid in the ring, like he did a lot of really great work last night, and he worked really hard. But there’s just a presence about him, and our audience understands and feels — energy doesn’t lie.”

On How He’s Like The Rock

“And he has that energy that’s like, you watch him, and you go, ‘Yeah, he’s not just the guy, that’s a star.’ But I think Trick has the potential to be like a big, big, big player in WWE. I feel like we’re watching, imagine when you were watching somebody like The Rock, and you saw him kind of like, ‘Oh man,’ when you started to see this connection being made with the audience, and you’re like, ‘Ooh, this guy’s gonna be something,’ and then of course he morphs into The Rock.”

Trick Williams now has a huge opportunity scheduled for next month’s WrestleMania 42, as he will challenge Sami Zayn fr the WWE United States Championship. The premium live event takes place on April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. It will air live on the ESPN App in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
