In spite of everything of the celebrity involvement at WWE WrestleMania 42, from former commentator and ESPN personality Pat McAfee, to country music artist Jelly Roll, one star who has remained after the “Showcase of the Immortals” is rapper Lil Yachty. Yachty has taken the place most weeks as United States Champion Trick Williams’ manager, despite Williams probably not needing a mouth piece. The pair work well together on “WWE SmackDown,” and on a recent episode of the “Battleground Podcast,” Williams talked about working with the rapper, who he said loves the business, which gets him fired up.
“We sit here and we brainstorm for hours at a time about how we’ll do that, and the way we’re going to do this. No ego involved,” Williams explained. “We will put out the very best work possible, and we’ll put out diss tracks. We will be doing various things like that. We put out a hearth track and I can see how the gingerbread diss track, though it was a throwaway line that became something much larger than what I might have ever anticipated it being. Hopefully I didn’t lose to much of my ginger audience, because I actually have nothing against gingers, it’s just all to poke fun at Sami Zayn.”
Yachty has been by Williams’ side through the vast majority of his feud with former US Champion Zayn. The pair released their diss track in the times leading as much as the WrestleMania match, and the gingerbread man storyline got so big on “SmackDown,” after Zayn beat down the costume in anger, Williams even hosted a funeral for it, with Yachty within the costume to further beat down Zayn.
