Trick Williams will challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT World Championship later tonight at the WWE NXT: Vengeance Day 2024 pay-per-view event.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Williams vowed to dethrone Dragunov at tonight’s event.
On comparing his challenge to beating Dragunov to a scene in Shrek: “Oh man. I think Shrek may be the perfect example for this. For Shrek to rescue Princess Fiona, he had to slay the dragon. So as I walk into Vengeance Day, Trick Williams needs to slay the Mad Dragon to receive his prize, which would be the NXT Championship.”
On a comparison for the matchup to the NBA: “Before I answer your question, I got to say I knew I liked you from the jump because Tracy McGrady is my favorite basketball player of all time too. So that whole moment was so befitting. But while we’re on the topic, when we talk about sports, Trick Willy’s been balling his whole life, and if you really look at the structure of that Deadline match, it’s very sports-like. It’s almost basketball-like, soccer-like, where the time is working against you. So when it came down to the fourth quarter, 3.4 points, it don’t matter, 33 seconds, as you know, it don’t matter. I got to go get it.”
WWE NXT: Vengeance Day 2024 takes place tonight at the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee, marking the first NXT livestreaming event to be held in Tennessee.
