Trick Williams is getting a chance to revisit his football background.
Williams, a former NXT Champion, has secured a guest star role on The CW’s All American. According to Variety, Williams will play Eddie Blair, the Athletic Director of South Crenshaw High.
“I am super excited to be a part of this new season of ‘All American,’” Williams said. “They treated me like royalty, put me in my own trailer, and made sure I looked top tier. I really appreciated that because four years ago, I was working as an extra–as a kicker–for South Crenshaw. To come back as the AD for Crenshaw is super surreal and a true full-circle moment for me. They have a great cast and crew, incredible directors, and a strong team. It was an honor be a part of the show.”
This will actually serve as a return for Williams, who had a role as an extra on the show’s third season. Williams will appear as Blair in All American‘s Season 7 finale.
Trick Williams is one of two challengers set to face off with Oba Femi for the NXT Championship. He and Je’Von Evans both secured their respective spots in a triple threat match that will take place at NXT Stand & Deliver on April 19 in Las Vegas. Oba Femi is the man who ended Williams’ NXT Championship reign after beating him at NXT New Year’s Evil in January.
