Speaking to Graham GSM Matthews of Wrestle Rant, Booker T was asked about Trick's main roster prospects.

"Wrestling is subjective to the person watching. I never really look at that side of it because I wasn't that great of a wrestler myself [laughs], I just act like I was a good wrestler. Trick Williams has done something so captivating and that's being able to connect with the crowd. The crowd wants to see Trick Williams and him come up just because of the charisma he displays on a weekly basis. He's a good dude as well. The wrestling, that's going to come. I talk to Trick Williams all the time myself about that aspect of his game. It's not something that happens overnight. Trick Williams has had, you can count on both hands about how many matches Trick has had on television. For me, Trick is a diamond in the rough, but trust me, once we polish him up, he's going to shine and shine like new money. Right now, he's doing a hell of a job as far as creating his aura in NXT. Is Trick Williams ready for the main roster right now? Personally, I don't think so, but that's what NXT is for, to keep these young guys ready for that next level, just like Carmelo Hayes. He's been grinding in NXT for two years. He's been grinding. Give Trick Williams that same amount of time and see how he develops. He is truly going to be a generational talent in this business that hasn't come along in a long time," said Booker.

Booker is the lead analyst on NXT, and adds adlibs to Trick's theme song during his entrance.
