Trick Williams says Lil Yachty is going to get in shape and ‘wants a match’
WWE United States Champion Trick Williams has revealed that rapper Lil Yachty wants to get in shape and have a wrestling match.
WWE has always seen the influx of celebrities into its storylines since the beginning. However, as many fans believe it has increased since TKO’s takeover. This year’s WWE WrestleMania 42 buildup alone saw the involvement of Jelly Roll, Pat McAfee, and Lil Yachty.
Speaking on Stephanie McMahon’s ‘What’s Your Story?’ podcast, new WWE United States Champion Williams opened up about his relationship with Yachty and his desire to wrestle a match.
“This is what he told me: He says, ‘Trick, I can’t believe they’re letting me do WrestleMania with you. I ain’t wanna take no shortcuts. I ain’t wanna go straight to the top. I want to go to Delaware, I wanna go to Baton Rouge.’ He said, ‘I want to be one of the boys.’ He said, ‘I love this business. I’ve been watching this for years.’ He wants to be one of the boys,” Williams said.
“We talk, sometimes 2 o’clock in the morning. I’m like, ‘Aite, Yachty.’ Lash [Legend] has had enough. She has had enough. But that’s my boy, and it’s crazy because we both have a desire for excellence. We want it to be good. We want everything that we do to feel like magic. That same feeling that we felt when y’all was doing your thing in the Attitude Era. Everything has to feel real to the people, and he loves it. He said he wants to have a match. Yachty said he wants a match. He’s gonna get in shape and we’re gonna do this. Let’s make it happen.”
While Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee have been involved in wrestling matches, Lil Yachty has yet to get inside the squared circle. Similarly, last year, Travis Scott also got involved in the Cody Rhodes-John Cena storyline and was reportedly training for a match. However, things later got scrapped, and Scott never made his in-ring debut.
