Trick Williams Admits Lash Legend “Friend-Zoned” Him After Awkward First Attempt

Trick Williams may be one of WWE’s smoothest talkers inside the ring — but when it came to asking out Lash Legend, things didn’t go according to script.

Speaking with SPORTbible, Trick Williams and Lash Legend played a round of “Agree to Disagree,” where they were asked who made the first move in their relationship. Trick didn’t hesitate to admit it was him — and then broke down exactly how it all went wrong. He set the scene at the WWE Performance Center, jokingly referring to it as “Love Island,” where rumors had already started swirling about the two of them.

“There was a time at the Performance Center, aka Love Island, where Trick Willy was being accused of trying to talk to Lash Legend on the low.”

According to Trick, the gossip wasn’t accurate at the time — though he admitted he did have feelings.

“It wasn’t none of that, we were both doing our own thing at the time. Before I knew it everybody was coming up to me like, ‘Are y’all talking? Are y’all talking? Have y’all got this going on?’ (I said) ‘Nah man.’ But I did kind of like her at the time. So it was kind of iggy for me to go pop off and do my thing.”

When he finally built up the courage, it didn’t go as planned.

“So, I see her, she getting out of her Mercedes-Benz and everything, so I walk up and say, I don’t know what happens, like, as soon as I got to her I had like this great promo in my head that I was gonna drop on her, but as soon as the moment of truth happened, like, no words was coming out.”

Instead of delivering the smooth pitch he imagined, he fumbled through it.

“I was like, ‘So, yo Lash, I don’t know if everybody else saying, but you and me… together good.’ And then she friend-zoned me so quick. She was like, ‘Yeah, I heard people saying that, but nah you my homie for real.’”

Despite the initial rejection, things obviously worked out for the WWE couple, who are now engaged and frequently appear together on-screen and in media appearances. Even one of WWE’s most confident stars had to take an early L before landing the win.
