WWE United States Champion Trick Williams is set to defend his title against Baron Corbin at SummerSlam, airing live on Netflix on August 1 and 2.
Williams, a rising star featured in the third season of Netflix's behind-the-scenes series WWE Unreal, has gained attention for his charismatic connection with fans worldwide and for offering a glimpse into wrestling's once-secretive industry.

He has toured globally with his fiancée and fellow wrestler Lash Legend, while also sharing the emotional impact his success has had on his family in the latest season of WWE Unreal.
In an exclusive interview with Metro, Williams credited John Cena, a wrestling legend who retired in December, with providing crucial guidance early in his career.
“I’ve talked to Cena on multiple occasions, all the way back at NXT.
He would come back and make himself available to all the new and upcoming talent way back then,” Williams said.
Williams described Cena's advice as focusing on the psychological and storytelling aspects of wrestling, emphasizing the importance of understanding “what’s the story?
Why are we doing what we’re doing?”
Reflecting on a key conversation, Williams quoted Cena: “Man, you got to take that opportunity by the horns, man.
It’s no perfect time, but you got to make it your time. You got to believe within yourself that now is your time.”
This inspired Williams to adopt a mindset of seizing every day as his moment, which he credits for his current success.
