Trick Williams qualified for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match on the September 19 episode of WWE SmackDown, defeating Rey Fenix and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat qualifying match. The win puts Williams into the crowded field of competitors chasing a briefcase and a guaranteed future title opportunity.
Following the show, Baron Corbin addressed Williams’ victory in a statement to WWE, warning that his issues with Williams are not resolved. According to Fightful, Corbin said Williams “can run all you want, but all roads lead to me.” 411Mania and Wrestling Headlines similarly reported Corbin declaring that the two are “far from finished.”
Corbin is described by the sources as a former opponent of Williams, and his comments suggest a continuation of a rivalry between the two heading toward Money in the Bank. No specific match or segment involving Corbin and Williams has been confirmed beyond Corbin’s public warning.
Williams now joins the field for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match after coming out on top of a three-way qualifier that also included Rey Fenix and Randy Orton. Further details on the full Money in the Bank card, including whether Corbin factors into the ladder match itself, have not been announced.
