In the history of WWE NXT, there might not be anyone who has gone through the evolution that Trick Williams has.
Once known as a sidekick to Carmelo Hayes, Williams is now a former two-time NXT Champion and has held the TNA World Championship as well.
On the November 11 WWE NXT, Williams lost to Ricky Saints in a Last Man Standing Match for the NXT Championship. Following this loss, Trick might finally be ready to make the move up to the main roster.
Here are seven potential Trick Williams WWE main roster plans.
7. Answering Ilja Dragunov’s United States Championship Open Challenge
On the October 17 edition of WWE SmackDown, Ilja Dragunov returned to the company to answer the Sami Zayn United States Championship Open Challenge.
After a gruelling back-and-forth battle, Dragunov dethroned Zayn to win his first singles title on the WWE main roster.
“The Mad Dragon” has since continued the open challenge and accumulated three successful defenses along the way.
With the open challenge ongoing, fans could see Trick Williams answer it and go on to defeat Dragunov to win yet another title after beating him for the NXT Championship in 2024.

6. Reunion with Carmelo Hayes
On the NXT Homecoming 2025 show, Trick Williams reunited with Carmelo Hayes to defeat DIY in a battle of two different generations of the brand.
This win proved that Williams and Hayes make a formidable duo that still have what it takes to put down any tag team in front of them.
After the failed experience that was his duo with The Miz, Hayes might realize that the only pairing that ever worked for him was with Trick.
Reconciling their past issues, Trick N’ Melo Gang could have a reunion on Friday Night SmackDown that sees them become standouts in the brand’s tag team division.

5. Joining forces with Lash Legend and Nia Jax
On the November 7 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, WWE NXT’s Lash Legend made her official main roster debut by attacking Alexa Bliss and helping Nia Jax beat Charlotte Flair in a singles match.
Legend and Jax then made their way to the November 10 edition of WWE Raw where they helped the Kabuki Warriors defeat Flair and Bliss to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
With Lash and Nia now firmly set as a tandem, they could add some additional muscle in the form of a man by their side.
Playing off their on-screen chemistry on NXT and real-life relationship, Trick Williams could make his main roster debut by joining forces with his girlfriend Lash Legend and her new tag team partner Nia Jax on SmackDown moving forward.

4. Forming his own stable with NXT talent on the main roster
Trick Williams has shown himself to be a true locker room leader on the WWE NXT brand over the past several years.
On the November 11 episode of NXT, Williams was seen backstage with TNA Knockouts World Champion Kelani Jordan who told him that he was right about having to be selfish to get to the top of the business.
Trick has drawn the ire of many stars on the NXT roster in recent months, but he has also gained a lot of favor with different talent on the brand.
Williams bringing a group from NXT to the main roster could work in a similar vein to the Nexus and allow Trick to immediately become a main event level talent.

Most recently, Logan Paul chose to knock out CM Punk with a loaded brass knuckles punch and sided with The Vision in the process.
With the faction now looking to start anew, The Vision could look to NXT for a new star to add to their ranks.
