ST. LOUIS — NXT Wrestling is set to make its debut on The CW network. Trick Williams, a rising star in NXT, shared insights about this move in a recent interview.
The season premiere is scheduled for October 1st in Chicago, with the second week’s event to be held in St. Louis. Williams says that The CW’s broadcast network will bring NXT to a larger audience across the United States.
Williams is preparing for a championship match against Ethan Page on Tuesday. He wants to reclaim his title, which he says was unfairly taken.
What sets NXT apart? Williams says it is a hunger to win and a diverse talent pool. He mentioned the guidance of veteran wrestlers like Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom, and Booker T, who serve as coaches to help develop new talent.
Williams had an unconventional entry into professional wrestling. He originally focused on football and then stumbled upon a WWE trial and found his calling in the ring.
