Trick Williams recently shared his thoughts on the growing opportunities for Black superstars in WWE.
During an appearance on The Ebro, Laura, and Rosenberg Show, Williams was asked how he feels about the chances that Black wrestlers have today compared to previous generations. He said he feels grateful for the moment and the opportunities available right now.
“I’m grateful. [Rosenberg] just said how myself, Je’Von, and Oba Femi should all three have a match at WrestleMania as rookies. I don’t think you could say that ever in WWE history.” He also pointed out that it has been a long time since a Black superstar had a major one-on-one match at WrestleMania.
“If I’m not mistaken, it’s been a while since a single Black talent superstar has had a one-on-one match during WrestleMania, period. It’s a lot of tag teams.” He made it clear that his comments were not meant as criticism of previous wrestlers.
“Whatever the scenario is. It’s not shade to all the brothers who have been doing it before me because they are so talent and I’ve learned from a lot of them. I’m just saying how grateful I am for this moment of time to get the ball.” [H/T: Fightful]
WWE currently features several rising Black superstars on the main roster, including Carmelo Hayes, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, and Oba Femi. All of them have already achieved success and continue to receive strong opportunities on WWE programming.
