Orlando, FL – In a stunning twist that has rocked the NXT Universe, Trick Williams is reportedly on the verge of resigning from WWE NXT following his heartbreaking loss to Pete Dunne on this week’s episode of *NXT*. Fans and insiders alike are in disbelief as rumors swirl that the former North American Champion may be stepping away from the black-and-gold brand for good.
Williams, who has been one of the breakout stars of the past year, entered the match with high expectations. Facing off against the bruising British brawler Pete Dunne, Trick was looking to re-establish his dominance after a string of inconsistent performances. However, Dunne’s vicious technical offense and ruthless joint manipulation proved too much for the charismatic superstar, who tapped out in the closing moments of the main event.
Following the match, Williams was seen sitting alone near the entrance ramp, visibly shaken and emotional. Multiple sources backstage reported that Trick was overheard saying he was “done with this chapter” and “tired of being second best.” These comments have only fueled speculation that the fan-favorite is considering stepping away from NXT entirely.
What makes this development even more surprising is that Trick Williams was heavily featured in recent NXT storylines and was rumored to be on the shortlist for a future NXT Title push. His unexpected decision to possibly walk away has left WWE officials scrambling to revise upcoming creative plans. Some insiders suggest that Trick may be seeking a move to the main roster, while others believe he may be taking an extended break from wrestling altogether.
Fans have taken to social media to express both their concern and support, with hashtags like #ThankYouTrick and #StayTrick trending shortly after the show aired. “We love you, Trick! Don’t go out like this,” one fan tweeted, while another posted, “This isn’t the end—it’s just a new beginning.”
As of now, WWE has not released an official statement regarding Trick Williams’ status, but speculation continues to mount. Whether this is a temporary break, a dramatic storyline swerve, or the real end of Trick’s time in NXT, one thing is certain—his presence will be sorely missed if he steps away. Stay tuned for updates as this developing story unfolds.
