Trick Williams hopes to walk in Shrek’s footsteps at NXT Vengeance Day.
At NXT Vengeance Day, Trick Williams will challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship. At the same show, he will compete in the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Williams and Carmelo Hayes will face Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin in the tournament finals.
Speaking with Matt Aguilar of Comicbook.com, Trick Williams was asked to describe what beating Ilja Dragunov for the gold would mean to him. He responded by citing Shrek as an example.
“Oh, man. I think ‘Shrek’ may be the perfect example for this,” Trick Williams said. “For Shrek to receive Princess Fiona, he had to slay the dragon. So as I walk into Vengeance Day, Trick Williams needs to slay the Mad Dragon to receive his prize, which would be the NXT Championship.”
Shrek famously slays the dragon to get his happy ending with Princess Fiona. Fans will have to wait and see whether Trick Williams will get his prize at NXT Vengeance Day.
