WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has received a huge challenge recently. The challenge came from current United States Champion Trick Williams. The two share a long history from their WWE NXT days. Now, Williams wants them to face each other at SummerSlam.
Booker T has mentored Trick Williams since his NXT days. The Hall of Famer also became known for his energetic reactions during Williams’ entrance. Now, Trick wants to face his mentor in one final dream match.
Speaking during a Hall of Fame podcast exclusive with Brad Gilmore, Trick Williams pitched the idea of facing Booker T at SummerSlam 2027.
Trick Williams proposes WWE SummerSlam showdown with Booker T
“I would’ve pitched it just like this. I mean, SummerSlam is gone but maybe next year at SummerSlam. Who knows? Maybe it’s for the WWE World Champion[ship].”
“Who knows? I’mma say Book. In the year 2027, [25] years ago, somebody made history. Two black men main eventing at SummerSlam for the first time ever. Hasn’t been done before. Hasn’t been done since.”
Williams then explained why Booker T should make history again, with him.
“How’d you like to make yourself a two-time main event of SummerSlam against another black man? Not any black man. That black man that is your polar strength, the one that you hand-sculpted yourself and said, ‘Trick Williams, look, this is how you want to approach the business.”
“This is how you going to make yourself a superstar, Trick.’ Now, how would you, Booker T, like to step into the ring with that Trick Williams, the one who knows he’s a superstar with all the momentum in the world, with all the eyes watching, left, right, kids, grown folk, it don’t matter. Booker T vs. Trick Williams. Main event of SummerSlam for the championship. One more time.”

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T admitted the challenge made him think seriously.
“I hate getting called out man, and not being able to respond properly. But my thing has been, I never say never. I’m never going to close the book on any chapter, anything like that. I feel like if I could will myself to do it, I will do it. If the body’s telling me, ‘Hey, go out here and get this done just one last time,’ I will go out there and get that done.”
Booker T also liked that Williams gave him enough time. “But he gave me a time period, ’27, and that gives me time to figure out what this year is going to look like for Booker T as far as, can I really get in the gym and hang and bang?”
“I’m talking about hanging and banging hard for just one more time. You know, that’s the question kind of like Conor McGregor. Can I will myself to get in the gym and make it happen? I think I can. So we’ll see how that plays out. I’m serious.” [H/T: Fightful]
