Trick Williams goes Hollywood.
Trick Williams addressed the NXT Universe and Joe Hendry on the April 29 episode of WWE NXT. In addition to bragging about going Hollywood and appearing in the season finale of All American on the CW Network, Williams took another shot at Joe Hendry. After attacking Joe at the end of TNA Rebellion, Williams declared that he was moving on to getting a singles match with Oba Femi for the WWE NXT Championship, but that's not the move for him, at least not yet.
WWE NXT GM Ava hit the scene and scolded Williams for his behavior at TNA Rebellion. Williams then declared that he realized he is bigger than WWE NXT. He declared himself to be the biggest star in NXT and TNA. Ava then told him he would get a championship opportunity, but first, he has to win a 25-man Battle Royal on May 6 to determine who will face Femi in Tampa, Florida, at WWE NXT Battleground.
