Trick Williams to Speak on Historic TNA Title Win During WWE NXT Appearance

Trick Williams just made history—and now he’s ready to talk about it. After defeating Joe Hendry in the main event of WWE NXT Battleground, Williams became the first WWE Superstar to capture championship gold in TNA Wrestling. That massive crossover moment has the wrestling world buzzing, and fans won’t have to wait long to hear from the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

Williams is scheduled to appear on the May 27 episode of WWE NXT, where he’ll address his groundbreaking victory. The announcement was made by NXT commentator Vic Joseph during the international feed of WWE Raw on Netflix.

This marks Williams’ first appearance since winning the TNA World Title—an achievement that solidifies his spot not just as NXT’s top talent, but as a major player in both companies. The partnership between WWE and TNA continues to grow, and Trick’s title win might be the most visible sign of that yet.

The May 27 edition of NXT is already stacked, with the following matches confirmed:

• WWE North American Championship: Ricky Saints (c) vs. Ethan Page
• NXT Women’s Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Jacy Jayne
• Jasper Troy’s in-ring debut
