Trick Williams expressed his admiration for his girlfriend, Lash Legend, after her standout performance at WWE Evolution in her hometown of Atlanta on Sunday night. Legend was part of the NXT group competing in the Evolution Battle Royal, where she made it to the final two competitors before falling to main roster star Stephanie Vaquer.
Remarkable Moments During the Battle Royal
During the match, Lash Legend impressed fans by eliminating notable wrestlers such as Nikki Bella and executing a powerful move by lifting Nia Jax for her elimination. These moments highlighted Legend’s strength and athleticism, earning her significant recognition from both the crowd and fellow wrestlers.
Trick Williams Shares His Thoughts After the Event
Following the show, Williams spoke with the Battleground Podcast, expressing his pride in Legend’s achievements at WWE Evolution. He said,
“Man, that was a beautiful thing,”
and added,
“I mean, in her hometown of the ATL of Atlanta. Watching her succeed, watching her do incredible things, man. She picked Nia Jax up — how many women do you think are capable of doing such a thing? Not many. She picked Zelina [Vega] up like a little rag doll [and threw her out]. Hit Nikki Bella in the mouth. I was a proud supporter [on Sunday], I’m not going to lie.”
