WWE Star Reveals Accidental Origin of His Finishing Move

Reflecting on that match, Williams said, “I would say it was actually accidental. It was Ilja Dragunov-Trick Williams 2. It was just a fight. He’s hitting me in the face, he’s hitting me in the mouth. He’s trying to inflict so much pain. At this point, I’m like, ‘I’m going to hurt you. Whatever happens, happens.’ The first thing that came to my mind is, ‘I’m going to put my knee right in the middle of his forehead.’”

NXT Champion Trick Williams recently shared the surprising backstory of his signature finisher, the Trick Shot, explaining that its creation was an unexpected development during a match. Williams described the moment as a significant turning point in his wrestling career, particularly highlighting his second encounter with Ilja Dragunov at NXT Heatwave 2023.

Reflecting on that match, Williams said, “I would say it was actually accidental. It was Ilja Dragunov-Trick Williams 2. It was just a fight. He’s hitting me in the face, he’s hitting me in the mouth. He’s trying to inflict so much pain. At this point, I’m like, ‘I’m going to hurt you. Whatever happens, happens.’ The first thing that came to my mind is, ‘I’m going to put my knee right in the middle of his forehead.’”

As the intensity of the match escalated, Williams executed the move with full force, leading to an unexpected outcome. “He hit a backflip, his face was bleeding, and the crowd was going crazy. I was like, ‘This right here should be my new finish.’” Prior to this revelation, Williams had been using a spinning trick kick as his finisher. However, this intense moment with Dragunov prompted him to rethink his approach: “When it came down to it and I want to hurt you and inflict as much pain as possible, putting my knee right in the middle of your forehead seems like a pretty good idea.”

Williams is set to defend his NXT Championship against Ethan Page at the upcoming Halloween Havoc premium live event on October 27. This match is highly anticipated, especially after a WWE Hall of Famer made a notable return by reviving an infamous gimmick during Williams’ diss track video aimed at Page.

With this new finishing move gaining popularity, fans are eager to see how Williams will incorporate it into his title defense and future matches.
