Trick Williams comments on possibly defending his NXT Championship against a TNA wrestler
Current NXT Champion Trick Williams has discussed whether he would be interested in defending his title against someone from TNA Wrestling. He did not mention a specific name but admitted that he was interested.
During the 2024 Women's Royal Rumble Match, TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace made a shocking appearance during the bout. She made another unexpected appearance last week on NXT, where she confronted Roxanne Perez. She competed in her first singles match in WWE against Stevie Turner this week, which she won.
While speaking to The Ringer Wrestling Show, Trick Williams discussed WWE's partnership with TNA Wrestling and commented on whether he would also be interested in facing someone from the promotion.
"I mean, all challenges are welcome. You know, like I say, I consider it an honor that we built up the brand enough and that we built up this title right here enough that there's people who want to go get it. So, anybody who wants to can come get it, yeah, man. I mean, the door is open and now that we're doing it, let's do it," Trick Williams said. [1:18:28 - 1:18:47]
