Trick Williams wins United States title at WWE WrestleMania 42
Trick Williams is the new United States Champion.
Williams defeated Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 42 Sunday to win his first main roster WWE title. Williams was portrayed as the face during the the match, with Zayn acting heelish and attacking Lil Yachty, who accompanied Williams to ringside. Towards the end of the match, Zayn went for the helluva kick but Trick connected with the Trick knee, pinning Zayn to win the title.
After the match, an emotional Trick celebrated with his parents at ringside, then celebrated with Yachty in the ring.
Since losing to Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble, Zayn has been teasing a heel turn, frustrated by everyone else’s success while he has spent most of the year struggling. He further cemented a turn by winning the United States title, pinning Carmelo Hayes after Trick interfered and helluva kicking Hayes in a rematch when being checked on by the referee following an injury. Aldis then told Zayn he’d be defending the title against Trick at WrestleMania.
Leading to the match, Trick responded by calling Zayn a “gingerbread man,” leading Zayn to give a helluva kick to a gingerbread man on the final SmackDown before WrestleMania.
