Trick Williams Invites Celebrity to Appear on WWE SmackDown

Fresh off helping Sami Zayn dethrone Carmelo Hayes as WWE Intercontinental Champion and subsequently being announced as Zayn’s WrestleMania 42 challenger, Trick Williams has extended a public invitation to rapper Lil Yachty to appear on the upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

The invitation comes at a pivotal moment for Williams, who turned on his longtime friend Hayes by interfering in his championship defense against Zayn — a betrayal that directly set up the WrestleMania 42 title match between Zayn and Williams. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made the championship match official later in the evening, giving Williams his biggest career opportunity to date on the grandest stage of the year.

Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Now Set for WrestleMania 42

The WrestleMania 42 Intercontinental Championship match between Zayn and Williams is now confirmed for April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, adding another compelling storyline to an already stacked card. Whether Lil Yachty accepts Williams’ invitation and becomes part of the WrestleMania build remains to be seen, but celebrity involvement in the weeks leading up to the Show of Shows has become a reliable staple of WWE’s biggest season. Trick Williams inviting his own celebrity connection into the mix only adds personality to what is shaping up as one of the more emotionally charged rivalries on the SmackDown brand heading into Las Vegas.
