Trick Williams Wins First WWE United States Title!
20 Apr
Summary
- Trick Williams is the new WWE United States Champion.
- He defeated Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 42 with help from Lil' Yachty.
- This marks Williams' first main roster WWE championship win.
Trick Williams is the new WWE United States Champion, having defeated Sami Zayn in a notable match at WrestleMania 42. With assistance from rapper Lil' Yachty, Williams secured his first main roster championship title by executing the Trick Shot for the pinfall.
Williams' victory was met with a strong ovation from the fans. The rivalry stemmed from Williams questioning Zayn's ability to win the title, a challenge Zayn accepted and won against Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis later made the championship match official for WrestleMania.
Since his main roster debut earlier this year, the 31-year-old Williams has experienced a rapid ascent, highlighted by becoming the first WWE superstar to win the TNA World Championship at NXT Battleground in May 2025.
Looking ahead, potential challengers for Williams' United States Championship include Carmelo Hayes, who aims to reclaim the title after a knee rehabilitation, and Ilja Dragunov, a former champion who has remained in contention. Other potential contenders mentioned are Royce Keys and Aleister Black.
