As for his next appearance in an athletic event, Williams told Schefter, "I'm definitely playing football [this year].

I guess you could say I'm waiting on the phone call. The former Panther and Steeler would be heading into his 12th NFL season, but he could be hoping that his wrestling performance showed that he can still take some nasty spills and continue competing. "I kind of protected my face with my hands, my arms, but you couldn't see that part.""What happened is, in practice when I was coming off, I didn't have the adrenaline going," Williams said.
