Trick Williams Calls WWE SmackDown a Life Cheat-Code

Williams highlighted how this phase of his life has allowed them to travel globally while doing what they love.

In an interview with 107.7 The Bone, Williams described his WWE career as a rare chance to combine work and personal happiness, saying,

“Man, I feel like, you know, I cracked a cheat code in life, you know, where, you know, me and my fiancée travel the world every single week. And they pay for it. You know what I mean? Like we on honeymoon every single week, you know what I mean? We’re on live television and we just enjoy each other. We enjoy being together at this exciting time in life. So, I mean, we both grateful.”

He further added,

“We’re on cloud nine, man. We engaged, getting married soon, got a house and everything. So, it’s just a great time, man. And it’s good to be with someone who understands you as a person and you as the performer as well, you know, so we can always support each other.”
