Trick Williams may already be headed for a major character shift just weeks after arriving on SmackDown.
Williams made his main roster debut on the December 26 episode of WWE SmackDown as a free agent. One week later, he confirmed that he had officially signed with the blue brand. Since his arrival, WWE has presented him as a heel, positioning him with an edge as he begins this new chapter.
However, that direction may not last.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, there is a strong feeling within WWE that Williams’ connection with the audience could force the company to reconsider its plans. The report states there is a “strong sentiment” internally that Williams has resonated with the WWE Universe in a significant way. His reactions have reportedly been difficult to ignore, even while portraying a villain.
The outlet also noted that discussions about introducing Williams as a babyface took place before his debut. While WWE ultimately chose to present him as a heel, no specific reason was given for that decision. Now, with his popularity continuing to grow, those internal conversations about a potential babyface turn have reportedly resumed.
Williams built momentum during his time in NXT, where his charisma and crowd connection became defining traits of his run. That same energy appears to have carried over to SmackDown, creating a situation where audience support may outweigh creative intent.
For now, Williams remains positioned as a heel. But if crowd reactions continue trending in his favor, WWE could soon be forced to adjust course.
