Trick Williams vs. Ethan Page for the WWE NXT title is expected to headline the Battleground 2024 pay-per-view event on Sunday, June 9, 2024, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Page just made his debut on last Tuesday’s episode of NXT by attacking Williams.
While appearing on “The Masked Man Show,” Williams addressed the attack. He said,
“You know, I feel kind of conflicted about the whole situation. A piece of me feels like, you know, we just talked about how hard we work for a long time here to build NXT where it is. You can see it’s showing, because we got people jumping from every which way, trying to jump their way to the top title and humbly, I say, it took me a long time to get my opportunity to get a shot at this title right here. So we got people skipping the line, trying to get straight to the top.
And let me say something about that, nobody just asks for a title shot these days. I get jumped every other week… I ain’t running from no challenge, you know what I mean? All you gotta’ do is, hey man, I want a title shot. Hey look… let’s make it happen. Why we jumping everybody every single week?
Up to this point, every challenger I’ve had, I really watched and studied them. I’ve seen them do their thing on multiple occasions. If we’re talking about Ilja Dragunov, we’re talking about Carmelo Hayes, we’re talking about Bron Breakker. As I look around now, all those guys are gone. It feel like the last episode of Fresh Prince (of Bel-Air). Ethan Page come out and… I’m familiar somewhat with his work. I know he’s efficient in the ring, but now I really gotta’ study, gotta’ get back in the lab. To be honest with you, I’m excited for the opportunity, to show the people what I’m about and with a brand-new opponent with Ethan Page and I hope he’s ready for what he asked for, because I’ma bring it.”
