Trick Williams Says He Carries the Money in the Bank Persona, Discusses Training To Overcome His Fear of Heights

WWE released a new video featuring US Champion Trick Williams training with former WWE Champion Big E, as Williams preps for the men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match this weekend. During the chat, Williams spoke about how he embodies the Mr. Money in the Bank mindset.

He also revealed that he and his wife, fellow WWE Superstar Lash Legend, have been training using ladders at home to help Williams overcome his fear of heights. Below are some highlights:

Trick Williams on His Mindset for Money in the Bank

“if you talking about the biggest stages of them all, we talking about a match that includes, one, like you said, crazy physicality, and two, ladders and height, you gotta be a tough dude to come out here and be the winner. But you know, when it talks about Money in the Bank, when we’re talking about somebody who looks like money, walks like money, talks like money, dresses like money, diamond out, G shots, chains in the gym, no shirt on, there’s only one person who carries the Money in the Bank persona, and that’s Trick Williams. I’m Mr. Money in the Bank. It’s Tricking in the Bank. You feel me?”

On How He’s Training With Lash Legend To Overcome His Fear of Heights

“Yeah, man. I mean, a little something about Trick Willie, I don’t do the heights too much. So to overcome my fear, you know what I mean, with Lash being in the match herself, I’ve gone to Home Depot every single day, and I bring home a ladder, and we practice just climbing to the top of the ladder and coming down. We go up to the attic, then we come back down. We go to the roof, and we come back down every single day. Oh. You know what I mean? I got her changing stuff, chandeliers, everything, man. Just climbing, getting used to getting up there. (Big E laughing) You know what I mean? And then walking way back down, say, ‘Hey, that wasn’t fast enough. We gotta do it faster. We gotta beat that time.’ So yeah, man, I’ve been climbing a lot of ladders.”

Trick Williams competes in the men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match later this weekend. He faces Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Penta, CM Punk, and Kevin Owens. The winner of the match earns a Money in the Bank briefcase and a contract for a World Title shot.

WWE Money in the Bank is set for Saturday, October 10. The premium live event is being held at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. It will air live on the ESPN App in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
