Trick Williams Addresses Viral Mic-Slapping Spot with Randy Orton on WWE SmackDown
Trick Williams addressed the viral moment from the January 9, 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown when he slapped a microphone out of Randy Orton's hand so hard it flew into the crowd. Speaking on the No Contest Wrestling podcast on January 21, 2026, Williams explained that the force of the slap caught him off guard and that he hadn't considered the live arena setup compared to NXT's stage layout where fans weren't positioned on that side. Williams said he watched the microphone sail toward the crowd causing fans to move out of the way "like the Red Sea," but he was told that nobody was hit by the flying microphone.
