That was some crazy shit even though he's a cheating cheater who cheats and Dijak was robbed. Wonderful match. Really should've main-evented.

Trick is so friggin over right now it's wild.
I think if they follow the usual booking path Trick faces Ilja at Vengeance Day or whenever, Melo does the classic NXT Friend Ending Betrayal™ trope and we get the classic NXT Best Friends to Bitter Enemies Feud™ in 2024.

I'm pretty sure Melo was about to do so after the show faded out.

The match is announced for New Year's Evil so I could see Melo turning there, then they do the big vengeance match at Vengeance Day, then maybe another go-round at whatever show comes after that, then Melo goes to the main roster.

Williams at the start of the 2.0 reboot was one of those guys that we were like “I can’t believe they’re killing the territory to push a useless shit like this”, so it’s pretty crazy that like, a year or so after that, it just clicked into place and he’s legit one of the biggest completely homegrown prospects they have now.

I have high hopes that he’s going to be a massive star once he gets to the main roster.

Since the day he showed up I’ve screamed “If this dude learns to wrestle he will be a huge star.”
I’ve been wrong lots of times before. I don’t think I am this time. Trick rocks. And I called it!

He's the best story in the NXT Men's scene. Moves and timing are crisper. Ways to go before he can improvise when a match breaks down or isn't clicking, but he radiates It. They played the crowd perfectly with the comeback.
Can't wait for the promo where he and Melo unleash. On the first episode of 2.0 Trick convinced Melo to stop holding back and be a winner. They'll both have good motivation; Trick for thinking their friendship meant more and Melo just taking Trick's words and doing what it takes (but really being jealous).

One of the best match finishes I’ve seen. So exciting. Trick has a massive future ahead of him the crowd already loves him.
I don’t think he’s beating Dragunov though. Unless Hayes waits for him to win the title then betrays him to get a title match.

I could maybe see them opting to wait to do a friendly title match where Melo then cheats to win it, though I think it's more likely Melo costs him the match then they feud for a bit before Melo goes to the main roster post-Mania.

I keep hoping they totally subvert expectations and DONT have them break up and feud.
I dont hold out much hope for that though.

That was such a classic HBK finish. Really well timed by everyone that may not be the greatest match of the year but damn it was one of the most fun matches of the year. Fantastic finish.

I wonder, because of the pops he's getting and the catch phrase, if he gets a spot in the Rumble? There is usually 1 or 2 spots for NXT isn't there?

But he is Trick. Wouldn't this trick imply we're against Trick?

Thinking about it, "WHOOP THAT TRICK" can work as a "KILL BART"-esque chant both for and against him.

As if getting four pins in a minute wasn't impressive enough, now the dude's managed to be an NXT main roster guest appearance that's actually over.

As a very occasional NXT viewer, I've seen Trick maybe 4/5 times but dude is a star. Awesome to see his popularity transfer to the main roster straight away.
Hopefully he's at the rumble tomorrow!

He's also got the slient charisma. Before even taking the mic, you can look at him and he screams MEGA star. The look will take him very far. I see him having quiet charisma like Batista 2004-2009 had before he turned heel.

Still not quite sure what "Whoop that Trick" means, but man was he over.
