Williams is with WWE.

Making his first on-screen appearance for WWE on the 11/12 NXT on CW was former NFL defensive back Trill Williams, real name Atrilleon Williams.

Williams is signed to WWE. He attended a tryout over the summer and has since began working with the company. That was first reported by Bobby Shouse of The Dive Bar Podcast. He posted a clip of Williams’ NXT appearance as well. 

The former Miami Dolphins DB was shown in the background of a shot that featured Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and Dion Lennox which transitioned into a Lexis King segment.

The 25-year-old Williams last played in the NFL in 2022. During the summer of 2023, he received medical clearance after tearing his ACL.
