WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels sees excellent potential in rising star Trick Williams. Williams is a former WWE NXT North American champion and is currently positioned as the top star of NXT.
Ahead of WWE NXT Stand & Deliver, Shawn Michaels rewatched some of his classic WrestleMania matches with NXT stars. One of these matches included his encounter with John Cena at WrestleMania 23. Michaels challenged Cena for the WWE Title in the main event.
During the rewatch of his WrestleMania match with NXT star Trick Williams, Shawn Michaels drew a comparison between John Cena and Williams. He remarked, “I don’t know if it effects you sometimes, but John was in a position where he was the champion, but I think people weren’t sure if he was ready yet. Never let that stuff stop you. He never let that kind of stuff, that doubt, slow him down.”
He continued, “He knew within himself, he was ready to take on the best, whether it was Hunter, myself, The Undertaker. John had a lot to prove to a lot of people, and you and him are similar in that respect. Sometimes, it’s gonna take you having to mow down guy after guy after guy for you to finally sort of earn that respect from your peers. That’s how you do it, these big-time matches one after another, just clicking them off, and that’s exactly what he did.”
The rising star Trick Williams benefits greatly from receiving compliments from Michaels. Fans might also recall Williams sharing the screen with John Cena back in October when Cena appeared on the show.
