With Trick Williams making a big debut on the January 2 edition of WWE SmackDown to confront Sami Zayn, it could be that he has more to reveal.
Potentially bringing along with him a brand new stable of allies, there could end up becoming an intriguing new group poised to take SmackDown by storm.
Here are seven WWE stars to join a new Trick Williams faction.
7. Matt Cardona
Making his big return to WWE on the same night that Trick Williams confronted Sami Zayn was Matt Cardona.
With the duo having crossed paths in TNA Wrestling during Trick’s reign as the TNA Wrestling World Champion, it would stand to reason that the pair of debuting stars might link up.
Able to cause some trouble together as the new kids on the block, the dynamic duo could end up being both a charismatic and hilarious pair.
Just as likely to put on a show on the mic as in the ring together, the pair could end up becoming a dangerous duo in more ways than one.

6. Carmelo Hayes
The most obvious choice to join forces with Trick Williams on the main roster still might be the most interesting choice in Carmelo Hayes.
After having a recent reunion on NXT Homecoming and receiving a positive response from the crowd, Melo has gone on to seemingly turn fully babyface.
Able to still link up with Trick as the duo could now play a reverse to their former roles with Melo being considered more babyface with Williams being the heel — their dynamic is still a solid one.
Taking on tag teams and singles challenges, the Trick Melo Gang could absolutely reign on WWE SmackDown.

5. Nia Jax & Lash Legend
A potential tag team that could benefit from joining forces with Trick Williams could be Nia Jax and Lash Legend.
Blending fiction with reality, bringing together the real life couple of Trick and Lash on-screen could end up being a lot of fun.
Able to resume their former story from NXT that was halted after Noam Dar picked up an injury, it would be a great time to introduce another element to SmackDown.
With the broadcast switching back to a three-hour runtime in 2026, there might be plenty of room on the show for a legendary romance storyline.

4. Ricky Saints
A potential partnership for Trick Williams on the main roster could be to recruit from former opponent, Ricky Saints.
While they appeared on NXT as foes, since Trick Williams has departed the brand there has been a decidedly darker turn for Saints.
Potentially making him the perfect addition to a faction led by Trick Williams, Saints as well as Trick represent a new wave of compelling talent to join the main roster.
Certainly with matching charisma and style, Saints & Williams could become a legendary tag team pairing.

3. Ethan Page
One name from NXT that seems likely to head to the main roster sooner rather than later is ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page.
While he is currently linked on screen with his fellow AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion Chelsea Green, he could certainly find himself going his own way in the future.
Seemingly a great partner in crime for Trick Williams, the duo of confident and charismatic heels could attempt to take over the main roster together.
A seemingly unlikely duo that could be poised to end up fan favorites, the pair could certainly be entertaining to watch.

2. Otis & Akira Tozawa
While Trick Williams certainly seems to be keeping his heel edge on the main roster, there is definitely a comedic side to his character that can be utilized when needed.
Potentially the perfect short-term pairing for the duo of Akira Tozawa and Otis, there are seemingly unlimited comedic opportunities between the three.
With Williams able to play off of the pair’s silliness in a way that makes it entertaining and not strictly mean spirited, their need to impress Trick could just become an amusing running gag.
Similarly to R-Truth’s versatility in ability to pop into any storyline, the Alpha Academy remains a pair that have a ton of entertainment value whenever they appear on-screen.

1. Tony D’Angelo
With a sudden return to attack on Ethan Page seemingly signaling that perhaps D’Angelo was returning as a babyface — it isn’t quite clear.
If the entire Family was to return to NXT (including Adriana Rizzo from injury as well as Luca Crusifino), perhaps they could work out an alliance with Trick Williams.
Able to offer Trick protection and an alliance, the partnership could end up being relatively short but launch all involved on the main roster.
Moving on to feud with others outside of what is going on with Trick or even return to NXT, The Family could start a brand new life as a protection group for hire in WWE.
