WWE Star Says Creation Of Current Finisher Was ‘Actually Accidental’

WWE

NXT Champion Trick Williams has revealed the origins of his Trick Shot finisher, stating that he discovered the move during a notable match.

Speaking on Fox Sports Happy Hour, Williams noted that developing this move was “actually accidental”, recalling using the move during his second match against Ilja Dragunov at NXT Heatwave 2023.

Williams said:

“I would say it was actually accidental. It was Ilja Dragunov-Trick Williams 2. It was just a fight. It was a fight. He’s hitting me in the face, he’s hitting me in the mouth. He’s trying to inflict so much pain. At this point, I’m like, “I’m going to hurt you. Whatever happens, happens.’ The first thing that came to my mind is, ‘I’m going to put my knee right in the middle of his forehead.’

“I went for it full speed. He hit a backflip, his face was bleeding, and the crowd was going crazy. I was like, ‘This right here should be my new finish.’ I was doing the spinning Trick kick before, but in that moment with Ilja Dragunov, when it came down to it and I want to hurt you and inflict as much pain as possible. Putting my knee right in the middle of your forehead seems like a pretty good idea.'”

Williams will defend his NXT Championship against Ethan Page at Sunday’s (October 27) Halloween Havoc premium live event.

A WWE Hall of Famer revived an infamous gimmick during Williams’ diss track video on Ethan Page, which you can read more about right here.
