Trick Williams Says He Does Not See Himself As A Heel Or A Babyface

Summary

Trick Williams says he is not trying to fit into the usual heel-or-babyface split as his WWE run continues on SmackDown.

While speaking with Michael Fairman, Williams reflected on how fans label performers and made it clear that he is more interested in staying true to himself than chasing either side of that divide. The current United States Champion has worked on both sides of that line during his WWE rise, from NXT through to the main roster.

Quote from Trick Williams

"Ain’t no heel or no face, man. Trick Willie just gonna be Trick Willie. The crowd can decide what they want, but I’m gonna be me regardless."

What this means for Trick Williams on SmackDown

Trick Williams framing himself this way gives WWE more flexibility with how he is presented as United States Champion, because SmackDown crowds can react to him without the character being boxed into a strict alignment.

That also fits with how Williams has been discussed in recent weeks, including a report that a face turn had been discussed before WrestleMania 42. If WWE keeps leaning into that middle ground, his title run can center more on personality and crowd connection than on a hard heel or babyface label.
