Trick Williams Says He Wants To Bring SmackDown To New Heights

The current WWE United States Champion has big goals on his mind for his 2026 campaign.

Since coming up to the main roster, Trick Williams has had the crowd in the palm of his hands and opportunities to crush to become one of the hottest stars in the WWE today.

Recently, Williams defeated Sami Zayn on back-to-back events, winning the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 42 to win his first singles gold on the main roster before successfully retaining it at WWE Backlash in Tampa on May 9.

Now, with Zayn out of the way, Williams has big plans on his mind and discussed them in a new interview with WISTV.

“We’ve got to keep it going, man. We’ve got to make this title right here, this United States championship, you know, mean something. I want to main event SmackDowns. I want to make this title, mean more than it’s ever meant before. You know what I mean? I want to bring SmackDown to new heights. I want to do things that’s never been done before. I want to cement my legacy in the game.”

In previous title reigns, Ilja Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes made it their mission to bring back the United States Open Challenge like John Cena. Now, we could see it return in the main event of SmackDown in this new era of Trick Willy.
