This will be Williams’ first match at WrestleMania, but she feels comfortable going into the match.
“I feel good man, I’m on cloud nine,” he told Fox News Digital. “My family is coming to see me at my first WrestleMania. I’m facing ‘Gingerbread Man’ Sami Zayn.
“It’s personal. No disrespect to Sami Zayn, a lot of disrespect, but no disrespect because he’s great in his own right. He’s definitely a future Hall of Famer, multiple championship runs and stuff like that. But Sunday night, Night 2, all that goes out the window. Now it’s Trick Willy time.”

Williams said his quick pace on the SmackDown roster and his appetite to be the best is why he has an advantage heading into the match.
“I’m hungry,” he said. “I haven’t been here before. Sami has been doing this for a long, long time. He still has things he wants to achieve. But look, I’m hungrier than ever. I’ve done everything I can to get into this position.”
“They say, ‘Oh, this is a five-year thing for Trick, he’s not that experienced.’ No, this is a 31 year old thing. I’ve been working my whole life for this moment, here for everyone to see on Sunday night. He doesn’t want it the way I want it. Everyone will see this.”

Zayn is one of the best professional wrestlers in the industry. Even though the crowd has been hostile to him in recent weeks, Zayn may be the favorite in the match as he is experienced in this game.
