Lil Yachty stepped into a WWE ring for the very first time at Sunday Night’s Main Event 2026, putting his body on the line to ensure his friend Trick Williams got another crack at the WWE United States Championship. This whole thing kicked off after Baron Corbin, the dude who just showed back up weeks ago, shocked everyone by beating Williams for the title at SummerSlam, then totally pulled a classic heel move by blasting Williams with the belt on SmackDown to retain. Williams was sitting 0-2 against Corbin, but hey, he was never pinned clean, and that set the stage for Yachty to throw down.
Yachty’s Five-Minute Fight For Friendship
Lil Yachty’s mission was clear: just survive five minutes in the ring with Baron Corbin. And man, did he deliver! Yachty wasted zero time, clocking Corbin with a microphone before the bell even rang. He went for a quick pin, only got two, then tried to escape to the outside. Corbin was right on him, tossing him into the ringside barrier and clearing off the announce table. A couple of Yachty’s entourage tried to help, but Corbin took them out like they were nothing. What happened next? Yachty, smart guy, pulled a kendo stick from under the ring and absolutely blasted Corbin with it! He kept up the assault, but Corbin finally cut him off with a massive clothesline. Corbin then hit his Deep Six on one of Yachty’s buddies and the End of Days on the other. But Yachty wasn’t done! He launched off the top rope with a hurricanrana, then hit Corbin with a crossbody block and the crowd was on fire!
The Clock, The Table, and The Low Blow
Yachty charged Corbin one more time, but Corbin caught him with an End of Days, then just laid a beat down on the popular rapper. Corbin landed yet another End of Days and glanced at the clock, realizing he still had precious seconds left. What’s a heel to do? He grabbed a table from under the ring and set it up inside with just 30 seconds to go. Corbin hoisted Yachty onto the top rope for a superplex, looking to end it all with a bang. But Yachty, desperate and brilliant, hit Corbin with a low blow, forcing him to fall onto the top rope. That was it! That was enough to survive the five-minute time limit. Mission accomplished!
The second the clock hit zero, the crowd went berserk! Corbin, absolutely furious, choke slammed Yachty through that table anyway. But the damage was done. Trick Williams, fired up, made his way to the ring for his US title match, and the “Whoop That Trick” chants were echoing all over the arena. Williams immediately blasted Corbin with two kicks and a clothesline to the outside. He checked on Yachty, giving Corbin just enough time to send him crashing into the steel ring post and then toss Yachty over the barricade. But Williams recovered, back in the ring, he hit a flying clothesline and a flapjack, leveling Corbin. Get ready, because what’s next is the actual US title rematch, and it’s going to be absolute fireworks.
