Trick Williams Plans To Show People Why He Belongs In WWE’s Main Event Scene

Trick Williams is one of WWE’s fastest rising stars, and he plans to show people why he belongs in the main event scene instead of just demanding it. The WWE United States Champion has been featured prominently on WWE Smackdown since he debuted in January, with high-prifile spots on PLEs inclduing WrestleMania where, of course, he won the US Title from Sami Zayn.

Fans are already calling for him to go higher up the card, but Williams told Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown that he’s not about demanding things. Rather, he plans to take his opportunities and show why he belongs there. You can see the highlights below:

On His Path to the Main Event In WWE:

“My job ever since I came into the business, and this is the truth, and I never asked for anything more than just a 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.”

On Fans Who Think He ‘Deserves’ To Have a Bigger Push:

“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.”
