Scott Williams looks to curb Stone Cold WWE type antics: "It's been suggested if I win I just get a couple of water bottles, smash them together"

Scott Williams made his PDC TV debut at the Grand Slam of Darts but left Wolverhampton in a darting storm with the DRA likely to fine him after giving Luke Humphries a middle finger as a joke that went viral.

Williams will make his World Darts Championship debut tomorrow and discussed that impending fine with Daily Star.

“They’re in the middle of an investigation and I’ve had to provide a statement to apologise and say it won’t happen again,” Williams says to Daily Star.

“I’m just waiting for the correspondence from them regarding a fine or a warning. It was a heat-of-the-moment thing, it was nothing malicious. I’ve had a good laugh with Luke about it and practically every player I’ve seen since has laughed about it and flipped me off, saying ‘is that how you say hello now?’.”

“As soon as he [Humphries] replied, it took a lot of anxiety away,” he admits. “It’s tough because you’ve got a lot of people out there with different opinions on social media.

“It was silly of me to do it, I know that. I didn’t even realise I’d done it until afterwards. I was sat in a taxi on the way back to the hotel, I looked at my phone and Twitter had absolutely blown up.

But Williams a big WWE fan is looking to avoid Stone Cold type antics due to potential fines despite the smashing bottles and changing his walk-on theme suggested to mirror the wrestling legend.

“All you can see are these stills of me with my middle fingers up. I thought ‘oh my God’. My manager’s behind me saying ‘what have you done now?’.

“It’s not completely forgotten about but I can assure you it won’t be happening again.”

“It’s been suggested that if I win my game on Sunday, I just get a couple of water bottles, smash them together and chuck them out into the crowd,” he joked. “Although I’d probably get fined for that!
