The entrance of Trick Williams has led to Triple H issuing an apology of sorts to a WWE Producer.

After a successful run in NXT that saw him hold the NXT Title twice and main event a lot of shows, Trick Williams has made a significant impact on the SmackDown since officially joining the brand to start 2026.

While Trick has yet to win a championship, he has faced off against and beaten some top stars on the blue brand while also competing in the Men’s Elimination Chamber main event.

Trick’s entrance is already regarded as one of the best in WWE. His “Whoop That Trick” song is catchy, and the fans love to chant it, even though Trick is a heel. It plays well with his off-the-charts charisma.

In a video posted by WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, on X, Triple H can be seen working with Trick Wiliams on his entrance at the Elimination Chamber. Williams emerged from the back while standing on a spinner while his “Whoop That Trick” song played. It’s similar to the entrance of former WWE superstar Bobby Roode, who is now a WWE Producer, and a former NXT Champion, US Champion, and Tag Team Champion.

Bobby Roode’s “Glorious” entrance was one of the most memorable in NXT history, and it worked on the main roster, too. Since it looks a bit like Roode’s old “Glorious” entrance, Triple H apologized to Bobby in his message on X.

Triple H (jokingly): “Bobby Roode is massively pi**ed, yeah.”

Trick: “He’s not”

Triple H: “You know, Bobby had the original spinner and his was like super cheesy. Yours is like the superstar version of it.”

Trick: “I told him that we were going to bite his idea a little bit.”

Triple H: “Yeah.”

Trick Williams Takes An RKO On WWE SmackDown

On WWE SmackDown in Portland, Oregon, Trick Williams confronted the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match winner Randy Orton in the ring.

Trick said he has a bone to pick with Orton because we know he should be in the main event of WrestleMania, getting that WWE Title shot.

According to Trick, Orton went to his pod in the Elimination Chamber, and he said Trick is not 6’5”, so Orton playfully turned around so they could measure. After that, Trick and Randy went face-to-face in the ring, so Trick mentioned his lemon pepper steppers (shoes), and that led to Orton dropping Trick with an RKO. Orton’s song played to end that segment.
