During the latest episode of NXT, former Miami Dolphins player Trill Williams made his WWE debut.
The moment came during a backstage segment with Dion Lennox and Ashante “Thee” Adonis. Williams can be seen in the background talking to two other superstars. A frustrated Lexis King ends the segment as he sits at a locker, resulting in the other superstars leaving.

Williams’ WWE debut comes days after he signed with the company. He previously did a tryout for them over the summer and subsequently continued working with them. His hard work paid off, as he will now pursue a professional wrestling career.
Trill Williams’ Miami Dolphins career before his WWE NXT debut
After not being selected in the 2021 NFL Draft, Williams signed with the New Orleans Saints in May 2021. He was later waived by the team after failing his physical.
A few days later, he was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins. He was active for five games and made his NFL debut in the Dolphins’ 2021 regular season finale against the New England Patriots.
Before the next regular season, Williams suffered a torn ACL. He was placed on injured reserve and was cut the following year before the 2023 regular season.
A year later, Williams was announced as one of the signings made as a part of their WWE ID program. He quickly made his debut shortly after and will hopefully be a part of the black and gold brand sooner rather than later.
