Trick Williams addresses former AEW talent debuting in NXT.
Since the beginning of 2025, both Ricky Saints and Mariah May would make their WWE NXT debut mere days after being offical free agents. For an established NXT name like Trick Williams, this is something he can't hate on.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated's Jon Alba in a new interview, Trick was asked about the debuts of Saints and Mariah May, noting that he could never hate on a man or woman for getting their shine.
"Yeah, I mean, truth is I never hate on a man or a woman for getting their shine. You know what I mean? Because the same way I said, hey, I was a walk-on and this is how I got treated because I wasn't invited to the building or I was the outsider walking in. I mean, I would be a super hypocrite by saying, hey, somebody else doesn't deserve to shine because they're from somewhere else. Shout out to Ricky Saints. Shout out to Mariah May. Shout out to everybody who's getting theirs by any means."
Trick retained the TNA World Championship at Against All Odds on Friday evening. You can read more about that here.
