Summary

Trick Williams says Lil Yachty may be headed for more than a celebrity corner role in WWE.

While discussing Yachty's involvement ahead of WrestleMania 42, Williams said the rapper wants to get into the ring and has already started preparing for that possibility. The comment comes not long after Lil Yachty joined Trick Williams on WWE SmackDown before Sami Zayn interrupted, adding another layer to Yachty's growing presence around Williams.

Quote from Trick Williams

Speaking on Rory & Mal, Williams said:

"I'm excited to see what Yachty can do in the business. He said he wants to feel the cables. He said he going to get in tip top shape. We got him in a trainer. We're fitting to get Yachty ready."

Where Lil Yachty fits into the WrestleMania 42 story

Lil Yachty is set to be in Williams' corner when Williams challenges Sami Zayn for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 42.

Yachty also appeared on the April 3 episode of SmackDown, where he cut a promo on Zayn and backed Williams during an attack on the champion. That appearance already pushed him beyond a simple guest cameo, and Williams' latest comments suggest WWE could be open to taking the celebrity involvement a step further.

What this could mean for Trick Williams and Lil Yachty

If Lil Yachty is seriously training for ring work, WWE now has an easy way to keep him tied to Trick Williams beyond one WrestleMania weekend appearance. That matters because Yachty is already part of Williams' presentation in the build to a United States title match with Sami Zayn.

It also hints that WWE sees some value in Yachty as more than a one-night celebrity endorsement. Whether that leads to a physical angle or just a more active on-screen role, Williams' comments point to this partnership continuing after WrestleMania 42.
