Trick Williams is heading into his first WWE Money in the Bank ladder match with an unusual training method and an admitted fear of heights. Speaking with Big E, Williams said he has been buying a ladder from Home Depot every day and climbing it repeatedly to help overcome his discomfort with heights ahead of the premium live event.
“I don’t do the heights too much,” Williams said, according to eWrestlingNews. “To overcome my fear,” he explained, he has turned to the daily ladder routine as part of his preparation.
The 2026 Money in the Bank event is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The ladder match is a signature WWE gimmick in which competitors must climb to retrieve a briefcase suspended above the ring, with the contents granting the winner a future opportunity to challenge for a world championship.
During the same conversation, Je’Von Evans discussed struggles he has faced with promo work, according to eWrestlingNews. Specific details of what Evans said about those struggles were not included in the available reporting.
Neither Wrestling Headlines nor eWrestlingNews indicated what, if anything, Big E contributed beyond serving as the conversation partner for Williams and Evans. WWE has not issued additional comment beyond the remarks captured in the interview.
