Quote from Trick Williams

“I’m grateful. [Rosenberg] just said how myself, Je’Von, and Oba Femi should all three have a match at WrestleMania as rookies. I don’t think you could say that ever in WWE history. If I’m not mistaken, it’s been a while since a single black talent superstar has had a one-on-one match during WrestleMania, period. It’s a lot of tag teams. Whatever the scenario is. It’s not shade to all the brothers who have been doing it before me because they are so talent and I’ve learned from a lot of them. I’m just saying how grateful I am for this moment of time to get the ball,”
