Booker T Names Trick Williams as His Dream Opponent for a Return Match

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has been closely watching the rise of Trick Williams on NXT, and now he’s sharing his thoughts on stepping into the ring with the up-and-coming star.

Since joining the NXT commentary team in October 2022, Booker T has become an integral part of the show, often hyping up Williams’ entrance with off-the-cuff ad-libs. But Booker isn’t just talking the talk—he’s still keeping active at his Reality of Wrestling training center, despite not wrestling since his one-time appearance in the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble.

During a chat on his Hall of Fame podcast with Brad Gilmore, Booker T was asked who he’d want to face if he ever decided to have one more match. His answer? None other than NXT’s Trick Williams.

“I would love to go out there and school Trick Williams. Just to show him the true technique and the art, of the flow of going out there,” Booker T said. He added, “The thing is, he has a lot of flow right now. He has a lot of rhythm. But there are a few things that we’re gonna have to work on. Getting in the ring with Trick, it would definitely be one of those dream-come-true matches.”

The six-time world champion’s admiration for Williams’ potential is clear, but Booker T also hinted that the young star has room to grow. While there’s no word on whether Booker T will return to the ring for a showdown with Williams or any other opponent, fans can’t help but wonder if the legend might lace up his boots one more time.
