WWE Signs Former NFL Player

Another signing from WWE's SummerSlam tryouts in Cleveland, Ohio has been revealed.

Atrilleon Williams appeared during Tuesday night's edition of WWE NXT, being shown in the background of the segment with Ashante "Thee" Adonis and Dion Lennox. It has since been revealed that Williams has been signed by WWE, with Bobby Shouse of the Dive Bar podcast tweeting:

"Former Dolphin Trill Williams has signed with the @WWE & will pursue a career in Wrestling. Trill originally attended a tryout for the @WWE over the summer & has since began working with the company."

When exactly Williams joined the company is unknown. He was part of the same tryouts as Elijah Holyfield, the son of Evander Holyfield, and Sofia Iaderosa, a football/soccer player whose participation generated 3.2 million impressions on X/Twitter.

Cornerback Trill Williams was signed by the Miami Dolphins in 2021 as an undrafted free agent. He was active for five games that season and made his first appearance during the regular season finale, playing defence and on special teams. Williams was waived by the Dolphins in August 2023 and was not signed by another team.
