WWE NXT’s Trick Williams to appear on The CW’s ‘All American’

Image: The CW Former two-time WWE NXT Champion Trick Williams is heading to a different place but on the same network. Announced by Variety on Thursday, Williams will make a guest appearance on the seventh season finale of All American, a scripted football drama on The CW. The episode will air on April 28th. It will be Williams’ third appearance on the show, but his first as a recognized cast member. He was an extra for his first two appearances, playing a kicker four years ago. In a quote to Variety, he said he was even given his own trailer and was treated like “royalty.” The outlet reported Williams will play Eddie Blair, athletic director of South Crenshaw High School (seen above). The show hits close to home for the 30-year-old as he was a college football player for both Hampton and South Carolina. He unsuccessfully tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles and after failing to make it into the XFL, WWE suggested he try wrestling. Within a few years, he was signed to a developmental contract. Source
