The crowd was on fire for this match, which included a few notable close call two-counts. Trick Williams and Melo avoided each other\'s finishers, but then Melo nailed his Nothing But Net diving ax-kick for a two-count.
Ava told the referee to give the two stars leeway in this match, because she wanted to see a definite winner.
They kept going, and Melo started to use a chair, until Trick Williams landed his trick shot knee to Melo\'s face, and he got the clean pinfall after that.
The Wells Fargo Arena crowd chanted \"Whoop that trick\" loudly as he celebrated during the closing moments of the premium live event. This was a historic win for Williams, as it elevated him in a huge fashion.

Trick Williams & Carmelo Hayes\' History
After the two were a duo for the longest time, Trick started teasing the idea that he wanted to break off on his own while still remaining friends, which he eventually did. Hayes didn\'t take the split too well.
Hayes shocked everyone by admitting he was the one who had attacked Williams back in October 2023. The two were enemies from that point on, and things escalated in a hurry.
At NXT: Roadblock on March 5, Tony D\'Angelo used Williams\' entrance music to distract Hayes during their match. Tony D won that match to become #1 contender, and then Trick attacked Melo for real after the match.
The conflict between Hayes and Williams intensified the next week on NXT when Williams challenged Hayes to a match at NXT Stand & Deliver.
