A new report from Bodyslam points to a possible WrestleMania 42 match that would place Trick Williams in one of the biggest spots of his main‑roster run so far.
Since leaving NXT, Williams has moved quickly up the SmackDown ladder. His rise has been steady, and his connection with the crowd has carried over from his time as NXT Champion. The “Whoop That Trick” chant has become a regular part of his entrances, and WWE officials have taken notice of how easily he handles the spotlight.
According to the report, WWE has discussed the idea of Trick Williams facing Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 42. The two have crossed paths only a few times, but each interaction has stood out. They worked a house show match together, and they shared the ring during a fatal four‑way to determine the next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Their brief exchanges were enough to spark internal talks about a full singles match on the biggest stage of the year.
Sami Zayn brings a long history of delivering in high‑pressure moments. His WrestleMania track record includes the emotional tag team title win with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 39 and his acclaimed match against Gunther at WrestleMania XL. Zayn’s ability to elevate opponents makes him a strong fit for a rising star like Williams.
Creative sources have reportedly paid close attention to the reactions during their short in‑ring moments. The chemistry between them has been noted, and the fan response has helped push the match into active discussion. While nothing is confirmed, the pairing is viewed as a strong option for the Las Vegas card.
WrestleMania 42 will take place on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium. As WWE finalizes the lineup, Williams vs. Zayn remains one of the matches being seriously considered for the SmackDown side.
