Update on Trick Williams’ WWE main roster status
Trick Williams is now part of the WWE main roster.
Last week, Bodyslam.net’s Cory Hays noted that Williams is now listed internally on the SmackDown roster. Our own Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed the news on Sunday evening’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, and noted the possibility of Sol Ruca, Je’Von Evans, and others being called up to the main roster.
Meltzer said on the show, “He’s on the main roster now. They are doing an angle where I guess both general managers are trying to sign him and he’s the hottest free agent, which, haven’t they done that angle a lot?”
Williams and Lash Legend announced their engagement last month. Alvarez says he knew they’d both been called up when that happened.
Alvarez said, “As soon as I saw that, I thought he’s been called up. This is a big celebration. They are both going to the main roster and away we go. It was time. It’s past time for a lot of those guys.”
Meltzer continued, “As far as Trick goes, personality wise, obviously, he’s ready. Personality wise he should be a giant, giant star.”
“I don’t think it will be that long before Sol Ruca, Je’Von Evans, and Oba Femi are up as well. Everybody was pretty much raving about those guys, and Leon Slater, from the show last week.”
