Trick Williams recounts 'following The Rock' to wrestling career

Kiswahili

WWE wrestler Trick Williams shared how a pastor's sermon urging him to 'follow the Rock' convinced him to pursue professional wrestling. The story surfaced amid reflections on fans chanting his catchphrase 'Whoop That Trick' during The Rock's ring appearance in Memphis ahead of WrestleMania 40. Williams is scheduled to challenge Sami Zayn for the WWE United States Title at WrestleMania 42.

Trick Williams described a turning point in his life during an appearance on The Pivot podcast. At the time, he was coaching kids and substitute teaching after a football tryout with the Philadelphia Eagles. Never having wrestled before, he attended church pondering his future when the pastor spoke of water coming from the rock and advised, 'Follow the Rock.' Two weeks later, Williams moved to Philadelphia to train for wrestling, leaving behind a 20-year football background that puzzled some followers who knew him only as the entertaining 'Sweet Daddy' Trick online.
