Trick Williams: Yachty Loves The Business, It Gets Me Fired Up

Trick Williams has been having a blast in the last couple of weeks since getting into the United States Championship picture.

Originally, it felt that WrestleMania would be witnessing a United States Championship match between Carmelo Hayes vs. Trick Williams. Former friends turned bitter rivals in NXT, and now on SmackDown with one of the biggest opportunities of the year with gold on the line. However, that didn’t go to plan when Sami Zayn defeated Hayes to become the new US Champion.

During an appearance on the Battle on the Battleground podcast, Williams spoke about his partnership with rapper Lil Yachty, and how it eventually led to them making a diss track on Zayn, who Trick had to dethrone at the grandest stage of them all.

“It was dope. Working with yachty, he loves the business. Any time somebody loves the business like that, it gets me fired up. We sit and brainstorm for hours on how we’re going to do this and that. No ego involved. We’re going to put out the best work possible, and we’re going to put out diss tracks and different things. The gingerbread diss track, it was a throwaway line that became something much bigger than I ever anticipated being. Hopefully, I didn’t lose too much of my ginger audience. I have nothing against gingers. It was just to poke fun at Sami Zayn. I had to. He deserved it,” he said.

Williams defeated Zayn at WrestleMania and would go on to finish the feud between the two when he retained the United States Championship at WWE Backlash with a little help on the sidelines from his friend, Yachty.
