When it comes to Trick Williams, NXT isn’t the only CW show you can catch the rising star on as it was announced on Thursday that Williams is returning to All American for the show’s season seven finale. A former football player and NXT champion, Williams first debuted on All American in season three playing the team’s kicker. He was cast as an extra.
Now, he returns to the show as Eddie Blair, South Crenshaw High’s athletic director. “I am super excited to be a part of this new season of ‘All American,’” Williams shared in an interview with Variety . “They treated me like royalty, put me in my own trailer, and made sure I looked top tier.
I really appreciated that because four years ago, I was working as an extra–as a kicker–for South Crenshaw. To come back as the AD for Crenshaw is super surreal and a true full-circle moment for me. They have a great cast and crew, incredible directors, and a strong team.
It was an honor be a part of the show.” Williams is the second NXT wrestler to appear on a CW show, with Tony D’Angelo guesting on the show Wild Cards in January. On NXT, Williams is once again in the championship picture, set to compete for the title against Oba Femi and Je’Von Evans at NXT Stand & Deliver on April 19 during WrestleMania Weekend.
