Trick Williams walked out of the Allstate Arena with extra
weight in his luggage as he was crowned the new NXT champion
on the premiere episode on The CW.
Williams defeated Ethan Page in the main event of the show
which also had CM Punk as the guest referee. The finish of
the match saw Page delivering the GTS on Trick, but he
kicked out. Page then tried to hit his Ego’s Edge finisher
but Williams found a way out by sliding and then hit the
Trick Shot as Punk counted to three.
Confetti fell as Williams celebrated and then Page got in CM
Punk’s face, who he pushed and Punk hit a GTS on Page as
payback as the crowd exploded.
This is Williams’ second run with the NXT title, with his
75-day run coming to an end courtesy of Ethan Page, who held
the title for 86 days himself.
