Trick Williams is a believer in Malik Blade and would like to see his fellow NXT star get a shot at a push. The NXT Champion appeared on The WHIP Show Podcast’s NXT with Najee recently and during the conversation he was asked which NXT roster members he sees as having the potential to break out and become big stars.
“There’s a few guys who I think are special,” Williams said (per Fightful). “I think Malik Blake, he’s one of the guys who’s yet to show what he’s truly capable of.”
He continued, “In the NXT locker room, and man, I ain’t gonna lie to you, Najee, there’s probably a group of guys, probably about 30 deep, athletic, have a look, have charisma, and they all are right here just waiting as soon as one of them steps up like the rocket can be strapped in. NXT can have another superstar in a matter of time, just like that. But it’s hard to say which one it is, because I don’t know who wants it the most. I do feel like Malik Blade is a guy who’s putting the work in for a very long time. I’d like to see him get a shot. For the rest? Man, it’s just too many to name. I think a lot of them got potential. I just don’t know which one is going to break out and be the guy to carry a brand like NXT, you know?”
Williams is set to defend his championship against Eddy Thorpe and Oba Femi at NXT New Year’s Evil on Tuesday.
