The adversarial tension between Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe is nearing its climax, necessitating resolution. It appears this resolution is set to occur in a fortnight during the March 18, 2025, NXT broadcast.
In a recent episode, Trick Williams dominated the ring against Kale Dixon, after which he challenged Thorpe:

Thorpe made a surprise appearance from the theater-like balcony area of the set, declaring that he and Williams, who have been in disagreement for a significant period, will encounter each other in an NXT Underground match occurring in two weeks.

To date, there were five NXT Underground battles, the debut one featuring Thorpe pitted against Damon Kemp. Interestingly, Thorpe also participated in the second one, colliding with Dijak before the theme got adopted for the subsequent three bouts by Lola Vice (opposite Natalya, Shayna Baszler, and Jaida Parker). Thorpe has been unbeatable so far, turning this blend of fight into his forte, which could potentially tip the balance in his favor against Williams, who hasn’t been riding the wave of victories broadly in 2025.
Take note, this showdown won’t occur in the WWE Roadblock happening next week, which already boasts a thrilling lineup that now includes Roxanne Perez vs. Jordynne Grace.
