Sami Zayn wins United States title on WWE SmackDown
Sami Zayn has WrestleMania plans after all.
Zayn picked up the win over Carmelo Hayes on Friday to win the United States title for a second time. During the match, Trick Williams came out to watch, upset after Zayn attacked him earlier in the night. The new SmackDown star grabbed the United States title and gave it to Zayn, distracting the referee in the process. That allowed Williams to knock out Hayes, allowing an unassuming Zayn to take advantage with the helluva kick for the win.
The match came about when Zayn walked in on Nick Aldis telling Williams that he had a spot on the WrestleMania card. Zayn asked Aldis about his status and was stunned to find out that Aldis didn’t have a spot for him. Dejected, Zayn started to walk away but overheard Williams taunting him about going to catering. Zayn punched out Williams and told Aldis he was goign to find a way to get to WrestleMania, answering Hayes’ open challenge for the United States title.
Following his victory, Zayn spoke to Aldis again, asking him if there were plans for him at WrestleMania now. Aldis replied that there were, and announced a title match between Zayn and Williams for WrestleMania 42 next month.
