Trick Williams on his wrestling career: ‘I don’t ask for main event spots’
One of the fastest rising stars in WWE right now, Trick Williams, recently shared a reality check about his wrestling career.
Since defeating Sami Zayn at WWE WrestleMania 42, Williams has reigned as the United States Champion. Recently speaking to Jon Alba of Sports Illustrated, Williams shared that he does not ask for spots and instead proves himself worthy of those.
“My job ever since I came into the business, and this is the truth, and I never asked for anything more than just an 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,” Williams said.
“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.” [H/T TheTakedown on SI]
Williams, 32, noted that he is grateful to be alive and wants everyone to prove themselves to be deserving at every opportunity they get.
