NXT Star Explains Why He Wouldn’t Join Seth Rollins’ Faction
TNA World Champion Trick Williams declines joining Seth Rollins’ WWE RAW faction citing excessive “swag” as the reason.
Matrick Mondre Belton (born May 26, 1994) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on its NXT brand, under the ring name Trick Williams. He also makes appearances in WWE's partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is the TNA World Champion in his first reign.
After playing gridiron football in college, Belton began his professional wrestling career in 2018 under the ring name Sweet Daddy Trick when he trained in Philadelphia with his uncle. Belton then signed a developmental contract with WWE in February 2021 and debuted in September of the same year under the Trick Williams ring name. Since then, he has become a two-time NXT Champion, a one-time NXT North American Champion, and was the winner of the 2023 Men's Iron Survivor Challenge. He won the TNA World Championship, his first world championship, in May 2025 and became the first WWE-contracted wrestler to win a TNA championship.
