Trick Williams Reflects On His Victory At WrestleMania, Proving His Critics Wrong

Trick Williams captured the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 42, and he spoke after the show about proving his critics wrong. Williams dethroned Sami Zayn to capture his first WWE main roster title in his WrestleMania debut. He had Lil Yachty by his side for the match.

Williams appeared during the WrestleMania 42 Sunday post-show and talked about getting the win in front of his family, Zayn saying he didn’t have the experience to become champion, and more. You can see highlights below:

On His Victory:

“I mean, I gotta say, man. Y’all know the journey; I’ve been in the wrestling business about five to six years now, and I’ve had exponential growth. I’m grateful; thank you Lord. I appreciate everything that’s been happening. The people who’ve been with me the whole time, following Mr. Lemon Pepper Stepper.

“But all jokes aside man, this isn’t a five year thing. This isn’t a four months on the main roster thing. This is all my life. I’ve been training; I’ve been through the ups and the downs. And today, we just put the world on notice.”

On Having the Moment in Front of His Family:

“Man, a thug almost shed a tear today, man. Because my mama was out there. And my mama had a knee replacement about a month ago. And I watched her train, I called her every single day. I watched her train, she said, ‘Baby, there’s no way I’m missing your first WrestleMania.’ So she was right out there, so I gotta say, thank you Mama, I love you.”

On What He Proved to Critics Of His Inexperience:

“Man, I proved that I will do anything to get the job done. What Sami Zayn doesn’t understand is, you don’t just wake up looking like this. I mean, you don’t just wake up, you don’t just get handed opportunities and get blessed. You work hard. I trained very, very hard to get put in this situation. So no, if someone doesn’t believe that I deserve it, I don’t care about that. Because I clapped for everyone else when it was their turn. And now that it’s Trick Willy’s turn, we gonna turn it up, we gonna Whoop that Trick, and we gonna have a good time.”
