Just an hour before WWE NXT vs. TNA ShowDown went live, Trick Williams added a little spice to the locker room—and reminded everyone who’s calling the shots.

In a video posted by WWE, Trick was handing out custom NXT jerseys to his teammates ahead of the big Survivor Series-style clash. When he got to NXT Champion Ricky Saints, he couldn’t help but throw in a jab.

“I know they ran out of xtra mediums, so I got you a youth large and if you look closely, I got you that captain ‘c’. It’s lower case but it’s all good, you know what I’m saying? Co-captains!”

The lowercase “c” wasn’t a mistake—it was Trick’s way of reminding Saints that this is a joint operation. Despite Ricky wearing the gold, Trick made it clear that leadership duties are shared tonight. The playful shade sets the tone ahead of their eight-man war against TNA’s top stars, with Joe Hendry serving as special guest referee.

The card also features:

  • Team Jacy Jayne vs. Team Kelani Jordan with Jordynne Grace officiating
  • Ethan Page defending the North American Title vs. Mustafa Ali
  • DarkState vs. The Hardys in a tag title unification match

WWE NXT airs live October 7 at 8 PM ET on The CW Network, with global access on Netflix.  Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of tonight’s show over in our WWE NXT coverage hub.
