Trick Williams turned against Joe Hendry after the main event match at NXT No Mercy. As Ethan Page beat Hendry and Pete Dunne attacked Trick, there was a tribute from the WWE universe for Joe. The star wrestler's music was played even after losing the match. As the show went off air, Joe and Trick returned to the locker room.
During their return to the entrance arena, Trick was behind Joe Hendry. As the star wrestler's music was played and he headed towards the locker room, Trick turned his back and acknowledged the crowd. The fans observed it and claimed to be him turning against Joe. Well, he indeed turned against Joe but not as what the fans expected him to. In the process, Williams funnily nullified the rumors of his heel turn.

As Trick Williams was named the special guest referee for the match, many felt he could turn against Joe. Tensions rose in the middle when Trick did not count the third for Joe against Page. The special guest referee found that Ethan's leg was outside the ring during the pinfall. Hendry got angry and felt like attacking Williams. Many believed it was the moment for his heel turn.
Why Trick Williams did not turn heel against Joe Hendry?
However, the match ended up happening smoothly. Ethan Page delivered a low blow when Trick had his attention somewhere else. He pinned Joe to claim a win. Many hoped to see Trick turn against Joe after the match. Williams indeed turned, but not as a heel. The segment has gone viral on X and the fans claimed it to be Trick's version of turning.
Before NXT No Mercy went off-air, Trick was attacked from behind by Pete Dunne. It was probably the reason why Williams didn't turn against Joe. He might have a small feud with Pete in the next month or so. It might be a bit too soon for Trick to turn heel. Moreover, he is one of the most 'over' wrestlers on NXT. The company would love to bank most on it.
