WWE’s Trick Williams has recalled being “friend-zoned” by real-life fiancée Lash Legend when he first attempted to ask her out.
Speaking with SPORTbible, Trick Williams and Lash Legend played ‘Agree to Disagree’, with the WWE couple being asked which one of them made the first move in their relationship.
After admitting that it was he who initiated things, Trick recalled his unsuccessful first attempt to ask his future partner out:
“There was a time at the Performance Center, aka Love Island, where Trick Willy was being accused of trying to talk to Lash Legend on the low.
“It wasn’t none of that, we were both doing our own thing at the time. Before I knew it everybody was coming up to me like, ‘Are y’all talking? Are y’all talking? Have y’all got this going on?’(I said) ‘Nah man.’ But I did kind of like her at the time. So it was kind of iggy for me to go pop off and do my thing.
“So, I see her, she getting out of her Mercedes-Benz and everything, so I walk up and say, I don’t know what happens, like, as soon as I got to her I had like this great promo in my head that I was gonna drop on her, but as soon as the moment of truth happened, like, no words was coming out.
“I was like, ‘So, yo Lash, I don’t know if everybody else saying, but you and me… together good.’ And then she friend-zoned me so quick. She was like, ‘Yeah, I heard people saying that, but nah you my homie for real.’”

Williams and Legend got engaged in November 2025, the same month that the latter was called up from NXT to WWE SmackDown.
Two months later Trick Williams would also officially arrive on the blue brand, where he has established himself as main event level star right off the bat.
“Trick Willy” will be among the competitors in this year’s Men’s Elimination Chamber Match, which also features Je’Von Evans, Cody Rhodes, LA Knight and the winner of Jey Uso vs. Bronson Reed vs. “The Original” El Grande Americano on the February 23 episode of Raw.
