Inside Williams’ Awkward Moment at the WWE Performance Center
During a recent episode of SPORTbible’s Agree To Disagree podcast, Trick Williams described the WWE Performance Center as “Love Island,” where rumors quickly spread about his relationship with Lash Legend. He said,
“There was a time at the Performance Center, aka Love Island, where Trick Willy was being accused of trying to talk to Lash Legend on the low. Nah, it wasn’t none of that. We was both doing our own thing at the time. Before I knew it, everybody’s coming up to me like, ‘Man, y’all talking? Y’all got this going on?’ I’m like, ‘Nah, man.’ I did kind of like her at the time, so it was a little iggy for me to go pop off and do my thing. I see her, she’s getting out of her Mercedes-Benz and everything. I walk up and as soon as I got to her, I had this great promo in my head that I was gonna drop on her but as soon as the moment of truth happened, no words was coming out. I was like, ‘So, yo Lash. I don’t know what everybody else saying but you and me … together … good … look like … you know what I’m saying?’ She friend-zoned me so quick, she was like, ‘Yeah, I heard people saying that but nah, you my homie for real.’”
