WWE veteran Natalya praised Trick Williams for his energy and presence. She said on the Busted Open podcast that he could become a major star in the company.
What Natalya said on the podcast
Natalya spoke about Trick Williams during an appearance on the Busted Open podcast. She talked about watching him wrestle and training with him at The Dungeon, the school she runs with TJ Wilson. She said Williams and Lash Legend showed humility and hard work when they trained there.
Natalya singled out Williams for special praise. She said he has a presence that makes people want to keep watching. “There’s just something about him,” she said. “You watch him and you go, ‘Yeah, he’s not just the guy, that’s a star.'”
Comparisons to The Rock and fan connection
Natalya compared the feeling she gets watching Williams to the early days of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. She said when the crowd starts to connect with a performer, you can tell they might become very big. She believes fans pick up on energy, and Williams has that energy.
She described his work in the ring as solid and noted he had a strong showing the night before the podcast. Natalya said his connection with fans is growing and his peers notice it too. That kind of crowd reaction is what helped other stars rise quickly in WWE.
Training background and role on the main roster
Natalya mentioned that Trick Williams trained at The Dungeon with her and TJ Wilson. She praised his attitude and the effort he shows in training. She also noted he has already moved up from NXT and appears on the main roster, where he fits in well.
Williams has been seen performing on TV and working alongside other main roster talent. Natalya said he is not only a strong addition to the main roster but a positive force for pro wrestling overall.
Why this matters for WWE
Natalya believes Williams is at the start of a big run. When a performer can hold the crowd and earn respect backstage, it often leads to bigger opportunities. Her view is that Williams could become a “big, big, big player” in WWE if his current momentum continues.
Fans and commentators will likely watch his next appearances closely. If he keeps building that connection with the audience, WWE could push him into more prominent matches and storylines.
