Quote from Trick Williams

Speaking on the WrestleMania 42 Sunday post-show, Williams said:

"Man, a thug almost shed a tear today, because my mama was out there. My mama, she had a knee replacement about a month ago, and I watched her train. I call her every single day, I watched her train. She said, ‘Baby, there’s no way I’m missing your first WrestleMania.’ So she was right out there. Like I said, thank you mama. I love you."

What the United States title means for Trick Williams

For Williams, this was not just another WrestleMania match. It was his first WrestleMania and the first championship win of his main roster run, which gives the moment added weight beyond the title change itself.

The win also gives WWE a clear next step with Williams as a newly crowned United States Champion coming out of WrestleMania weekend. Even without stretching past the available facts, the title gives him a bigger place on SmackDown right away.
