Trick Williams has showcased remarkable charisma and athleticism in NXT quickly becoming a cult favourite-turned-obvious breakout star. However, it’s becoming evident the more major matches he has that a temporary move to Japan could be the key to unlocking his full potential. 

Via WWE's current links with Pro Wrestling NOAH, Williams could work a style known for its emphasis on in-ring prowess and hard-hitting action, refining the aspect of his arsenal that could still use a little bit of tightening up. Some physically demanding matches wouldn't just push his limits - they'd garner him even more respect from the wider wrestling community. Additionally, audiences known for their appreciation of strong style and technical excellence could reward him with an entirely different kind of validation to what he's been used to in NXT. 

In essence, an excursion to wrestle in Japan could be the transformative experience Trick needs. It would not only hone his craft but also establish the former NXT Champion as a serious top-level concern, respected not just for his domestic popularity but also his dedication and ability to thrive in one of the most challenging wrestling environments in the world.
