Now 12 years in, Lee is more open and loves sharing the road along with her husband in WWE.<\/p>\n<p>You may take a look at some highlights from the interview below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>On maintaining some privacy on social media: <\/strong>\u201cI don\u2019t really take pictures of my house. I didn\u2019t discuss my relationship for like a decade. I don\u2019t think I even posted my husband on Instagram. I\u2019m pretty private in regards to the stuff that I feel is just mine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut after I feel like there\u2019s stuff either I\u2019ve passed through or learned from and I can share that with people and make them feel less alone, then I\u2019m so glad to be an open book. I feel that\u2019s why I actually have this relationship with my fans that feels so tight and everlasting. They\u2019re so good to me because we\u2019ve been vulnerable with one another in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On being private about her marriage: <\/strong>\u201cI used to be very, very, very private with him. But I just felt like, \u2018OK, I feel we\u2019re 12 years in. Let\u2019s acknowledge we\u2019re married.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On being back in WWE as a married couple: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s interesting because we weren\u2019t married the last time. It\u2019s just bizarre. I used to be wrestling for perhaps a yr in the course of the marriage. So that is the primary time on the road as a married couple. It&#8217;s so nice to have the ability to bring home with you. It\u2019s all very calm. I can at all times find him at catering or see him within the halls. That\u2019s very, very comforting to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA beautiful thing is to have the ability to admire your spouse. I get to admire how well he\u2019s doing and the way respected he&#8217;s and the way much fun he\u2019s having. That\u2019s a blast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trick Williams has big praise for Jelly Roll in WWE.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent appearance on the \u201cRory and Mal\u201d podcast, Williams called the rapper a natural who gets it instantly. He even noted that Jelly Roll prayed backstage before going out and taking an RKO from Randy Orton.<\/p>\n<p>You may take a look at some highlights from the podcast below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Jelly Roll\u2019s work in WWE: <\/strong>\u201cJelly Roll \u2014 let me inform you, man. He\u2019s a dude who just stepped into the business and similar to, he understood it naturally. He did [an] open poem with Kit Wilson a pair weeks ago [on SmackDown] and man! He\u2019s a natural, man. He had the group rocking. I forgot. I said, \u2018Oh yeah, you do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On his passion for the business: <\/strong>\u201cHe loves it. And he\u2019s dead serious about it. I see him pacing forwards and backwards backstage like, \u2018Man, I got to kill this. I got to be sure that it\u2019s right.\u2019 He went out \u2014 , this was last Friday. Before he goes out he says, \u2018Brother Trick, are you a believer?\u2019 I said, \u2018Yeah.\u2019 He said, \u2018Can I pray?\u2019 He prayed for himself before he<br \/>went out and performed. He ended up taking an RKO from Randy Orton, but he prayed about it. [laughs] However the brother looked good. That\u2019s all I used to be saying, the brother looked good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Lil Yachty: <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m excited to see what Yachty can do within the business. He said he desires to feel the cables. He said he going to get in tip top shape. We got him in a trainer. We\u2019re fitting to get Yachty ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trick Williams on which Rappers would be the Best Wrestlers | NEW RORY &amp; MAL\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WYXx7xDTTPM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Trick Williams is pumped for WrestleMania 42, where he faces Sami Zayn for the WWE United States Title on April 19.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/sport\/16199818\/trick-williams-wwe-superstar-rock-since-rock-not-dwayne-johnson\/\">The Sun<\/a><\/em>, Williams addressed the potential of Carmelo Hayes joining the match, saying he would hate to embarrass his former friend on the most important stage.<\/p>\n<p>You may take a look at some highlights from the interview below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>On his fan response within the UK: <\/strong>\u201cMan, the response in London was crazy. I heard that it\u2019s at all times an awesome crowd in London, but I\u2019m glad I get to experience it firsthand. I mean, that\u2019s my first time wrestling in Europe and seeing how whoop that trick would travel, , across the Atlantic. And it traveled just advantageous. And the group, man! Like y\u2019all is passionate over there in London, man. I can\u2019t wait to return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the way it feels to be facing Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 42: <\/strong>\u201cLast yr, Stand and Deliver, all of us had something to prove; myself, Oba [Femi], and Je\u2019von [Evans], and here we&#8217;re a yr later, on the approach to WrestleMania night two against Sami Zayn, the gingerbread man. It\u2019s an unbelievable feeling to have the ability to be at WrestleMania. But one thing about Trick Williams is, the larger the lights, the larger the stage, the more that I show out. And that\u2019s what WrestleMania is, the most important stage, the brightest lights. It\u2019s time to point out everybody what Trick Williams is about. So, man, I\u2019m excited. I\u2019m on cloud nine. I can\u2019t wait. I got 8 more days to point out everybody what Trick Williams is about to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Carmelo Hayes potentially being added to the match: <\/strong>\u201cWe definitely have a story and, , so far as what it will mean to the people, I feel that\u2019d be a wonderful moment. But the reality is, whoever is in front of me got to get it. And as much as I care about Carmelo Hayes and as much of a friend that he once was to me, I don\u2019t need to beat him down on the most important stage of all of them like that and embarrass him for his first WrestleMania. I feel that\u2019d be a bit cruel to try this to one in all your mates, but, , within the event that it does occur, whoever\u2019s in front of me got to get it, so it&#8217;s what it&#8217;s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Wade Barrett comparing him to The Rock: <\/strong>\u201cYeah, man, so shout out to Wade with the fade, that\u2019s what I call him. But, yeah, so far as on the subject of The Rock, , The Rock was one in all those guys who made me wanna actually be within the business in the primary place. I used to observe his promos and the way he could control the group along with his voice, and I believed it was probably the most amazing thing ever. Much more so than a wrestler, just how he was so charismatic, so stoic, that the people were just captivated with every part that he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo after I actually decided I\u2019m gonna pursue this business, I\u2019m gonna grow to be a WWE superstar. He was one in all the explanations that I used to be really studying and watching the things that he did, to not grow to be the Rock, to not be similar to the Rock, but so the group scream as soon as they heard the primary little bit of your music. I desired to know what it felt like to only come out flying and just sit there and let the people feel your presence. So, there\u2019s numerous things that The Rock did that influenced me as a performer, but on no account do I need to be the following Rock. I got to be the brand new Trick Williams, the one and only Trick Williams, because what The Rock has done has already been done. So I gotta discover a approach to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a recent interview with US Weekly, AJ Lee opened up about keeping her marriage to CM Punk off social media for nearly a decade.
