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.
