Trick Williams is finally opening up about his unforgettable run-in with The Undertaker during the July 22, 2025, episode of WWE NXT—a moment that sent shockwaves through the 713 Music Hall in Houston and the entire wrestling world.

Back in July, Trick Williams was riding high as the reigning TNA World Champion, having just defended his title against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana. As he strutted into the second hour of NXT, Williams didn’t hold back—proclaiming himself the greatest TNA Champion of all time, dismissing TNA fans, and throwing shots at the LFG team for “snitching” on him to The Undertaker. He even accused Taker of never “holding down two bands at the same time” and flat-out called the legend “soft.”

That was enough to trigger The Undertaker’s iconic gong—and out came the American Badass, without the bike, but with plenty of fire. Taker stepped to Trick in front of the Texas crowd and delivered a verbal beatdown that ended with one ominous warning: “You’re a little light in the ass to step up to an OG.” Trick swung first—but paid the price with a brutal chokeslam.

Now, months later, Trick Williams has offered his first real thoughts on that moment. In a new interview with Going Ringside, Williams acknowledged the gravity of standing across from the Deadman and admitted he may have let his ego run wild that night—but he doesn’t regret a second of it.

“Man, that was an unreal moment. I’m not gonna lie. Uh, you know, I got a little too big for my britches, as my pops would say, where, you know, you talk a little bit more than uh than you can handle. And you know, he wanted to remind me of that, but I didn’t back down. And I think we made good TV that night.”

Whether it was a humbling moment or just another step in Trick’s meteoric rise, one thing is certain—he’s not afraid to swing at legends, even if it ends in pain.
