Trick Williams shares the differences between Triple H & Shawn Michaels
Trick Williams believes NXT’s Shawn Michaels and WWE main roster’s Triple H have two very different management styles.
Following a successful WWE NXT career, Trick Williams recently made the jump and joined WWE’s main roster earlier this year. Shortly after his transition, Williams became one of the most popular names on the roster.
Recently, speaking on My Mom’s Basement, Williams opened up about the different approaches used by Michaels and Triple H in NXT and on the main roster, having worked under both.
“I think both are great in their own right. Shawn Michaels has to babysit a little bit more because NXT is younger talent, newer talent who are still trying to figure out their way in the business. So he has to be hands-on and probably, like I said, babysit way more,” Williams said.
Whereas Triple H is awesome. He just kind of… he sits back and sees who you are, and he decides how he wants to present you. So he’s more doing the polishing and the brushing up. At this point, SmackDown and Raw, you’re supposed to be a pro; this is the big leagues. He’s not babysitting. He’s making you a star to the next level.”
Williams was recently a part of the 2026 men’s Elimination Chamber match and is also reportedly on his way toward a babyface turn.
