Things got heated on the July 22 edition of WWE NXT when WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker made a rare appearance — and delivered a chilling message to TNA World Champion Trick Williams. That message? Keep running your mouth, and you’ll be picking yourself up off the mat.
The episode, which aired live from Houston on The CW, saw Trick Williams confront the legendary Deadman in a fiery in-ring segment that ended with a thunderous chokeslam — and a statement no one watching will forget anytime soon.
Trick Talks Big, But Taker Talks Back
Trick didn’t come to the ring empty-handed — he came with an ego and some bold claims. Still riding high as the TNA World Champion, Williams wasted no time throwing shade at The Undertaker and his new LFG crew, made up of Shiloh Hill, Dani Sekelsky, Bayley Humphrey, and Drake Morreaux. According to Trick, Undertaker is soft now, and his squad is part of the problem.
Williams even claimed that The Undertaker never held down two brands the way he has, saying no one shines like him. That’s when the lights dimmed, the gong hit, and business picked up.
Undertaker Warns Williams: “Dead Man Walking”
Once in the ring, The Phenom kept his cool — at first. He told Trick he sees a lot in him, but not enough respect. According to Taker, Trick was more driven when he was NXT Champion and warned that his attitude could be his downfall.
“You’re a dead man walking,” Undertaker told him, before adding that with the way Williams is acting, it’s only a matter of time before he drops the TNA World Title.
Trick wasn’t trying to hear it. He dismissed the legend’s advice and flat-out said he didn’t care about the LFG crew or their attitudes. He claimed no one on that roster — or any roster — is a star like him.
That was the final straw.
A Swing, A Miss, and a Chokeslam to Remember
Taker responded in true Undertaker fashion: with cold words and a big-time warning. “You’re too light in the ass to step to an O.G. like me,” he told Trick. “But if you want, I can flip the switch and make you famous.”
Trick took the bait and swung — but Taker was ready. He caught him, planted him with a chokeslam, and left him staring up at the lights.
What’s Next for Trick Williams?
After that confrontation, the message is crystal clear: legends don’t get talked down to — especially not by someone still trying to carve out their legacy. Whether Trick bounces back with more fire or starts taking Taker’s warning seriously remains to be seen.
But if there’s one thing we learned from this NXT moment, it’s that no matter how long he’s been gone, when The Undertaker shows up, everyone listens.
