Trick Williams to challenge for WWE NXT Championship at Spring Breakin’
Trick Williams will challenge Ilja Dragunov for the WWE NXT Championship at Spring Breakin’.
It was revealed during Tuesday’s WWE NXT episode that Trick Williams will challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT title on the special Tuesday, April 23 Spring Breakin’ edition of the show.
After a victory over Carmelo Hayes in the main event of last Saturday’s Stand & Deliver PLE, Williams stated on Tuesday’s episode that he wanted another shot at Dragunov’s NXT title. Dragunov initially refused the challenge, but eventually agreed to put the title up under the condition that if Williams loses, he must leave NXT.
Hayes also appeared in Tuesday’s show-closing segment with Williams & Dragunov, laying both out while challenging Williams to a steel cage match for next week’s NXT show.
This year’s Spring Breakin’ will be a two-night event on Tuesday, April 23 & Tuesday, April 30.
No other matches have been announced for Spring Breakin’ to this point, but an Oba Femi vs. Ivar North American title match appears set for one night of the event following an Ivar appearance on Tuesday’s show, and an AOP vs. Nathan Frazer & Axiom NXT Tag title match could take place as well.
