To start 2026, Trick Williams got called up to the WWE main roster to become a member of the Friday Night SmackDown brand.

Then at WWE WrestleMania 42 Night Two, Williams defeated Sami Zayn to win the United States Championship.

Now with gold around his waist and Lil Yachty by his side, Trick could start his own faction to help his ascension to the top of WWE.

Here are six WWE stars to potentially join a new Trick Williams faction.

6. Lash Legend

Trick Williams starting a new faction could lead to him calling on SmackDown stars that he trusts to stand by his side.

Many fans might know that Trick’s real life fiancè is fellow WWE star Lash Legend of The Irresistible Forces.

Legend has been a force to be reckoned with ever since being called up to the WWE main roster in November 2025.

Placing Legend alongside her husband-to-be would be an interesting dynamic that could make this new faction led by Trick Williams a must-watch act.

5. Nia Jax

Speaking of The Irresistible Forces, Lash Legend’s tag team partner Nia Jax could be someone else who joins forces with this new Trick Williams faction.

Jax has become one of the most decorated female stars on the WWE roster as a former two-time WWE Women’s Champion and Queen of the Ring.

Since Legend got called up to the WWE main roster and joined the SmackDown brand, Jax has formed the Irresistible Forces tag team with the former NXT star.

Trick could gain an enforcer for his new stable in the form of Nia Jax that could make them a force in both the men’s and women’s division moving forward.

4. Royce Keys

At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Royce Keys made his debut with the company as an entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

After a couple of months off of television, Keys made his WWE TV debut when he appeared on the April 10 edition of Friday Night SmackDown.

The former Powerhouse Hobbs then went on to win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the April 17 SmackDown.

Looking at what Keys can offer to this new faction, Trick Williams could call upon the former AEW star to be a member of this stable and make it a powerful unit moving forward.

3. Ricky Saints

Since signing with WWE in February 2025, Ricky Saints has been seen as someone who would become an instant hit in the company.

After spending more than a year on the WWE NXT brand, Saints is a former NXT and North American Champion.

The May 1 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will mark Ricky’s WWE main roster debut and could see him reconnect with stars from his time on NXT.

Following their feud with one another over the NXT Championship, there could have been some respect formed between Ricky Saints and Trick Williams that leads to the two men joining forces on Friday nights moving forward.

2. Je’Von Evans

Another former NXT star that knows Trick Williams very well from the time on the brand is Je’Von Evans.

Both men were called up to the WWE main roster around the same time, but Williams and Evans have been kept separate on Raw and SmackDown.

While he is currently part of the Monday Night Raw roster, Evans could reunite with Williams to bolster the ranks of this new potential stable.

Williams and Evans coming together in a faction could be a compelling story to tell with these two young stars looking to take over WWE side-by-side.

1. Carmelo Hayes

When he first debuted in WWE back in 2021, Trick Williams aligned himself with Carmelo Hayes and became one of the most popular pairings on NXT.

Williams was by Hayes’ side through all of his triumphs on the brand, including two reigns as NXT North American Champion and reaching the mountaintop as NXT Champion.

Melo turning on Williams led to Trick ascending to the top of WWE NXT himself and capturing the NXT Championship.

Now that they are back on the same brand together on SmackDown, it might be time for Trick-Melo Gang to reunite and make a new potential faction that could lead to them both becoming main event level talents together.
