Trick Williams is the new United States Champion! Yeah, you read that right. He promptly defeated Baron Corbin at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event, but the real story, the absolutely wild story, is how Lil Yachty played a pivotal role in making it happen by surviving five minutes in the ring with Corbin.
The Villain Returns and the Feud Explodes
This whole saga kicked off way back on the July 10 episode of SmackDown, when Baron Corbin made his big return to WWE after nearly two years away. And how did he mark his comeback? By crashing a U.S. title match between Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes! He just attacked both guys, plain and simple, and boom, that somehow earned him a title shot at SummerSlam.
Fast forward to SummerSlam, and Corbin pulled off the upset. Thanks in part to a totally cheap move where he threw Lil Yachty through a table, Corbin totally threw Trick off his game. That distraction was enough for Corbin to steal the win and become a two-time United States champion. Talk about a gut punch for Trick, right?
Yachty’s Risky Bet in Atlanta
Trick Williams wasn’t about to let that stand. He immediately went to work trying to secure a rematch, but Corbin, being Corbin, wasn’t just gonna hand it over. He wanted to dictate the terms, naturally. Things got even wilder when Lil Yachty, Trick’s manager and friend, actually attacked Corbin himself with the “Trick Stick” kendo stick on a couple of occasions!
That’s when Corbin got an idea, a twisted plan to get his hands on the popular rapper. He proposed a match: Baron Corbin versus Lil Yachty, with a five-minute time limit, set for Sunday Night’s Main Event in Yachty’s very own hometown of Atlanta. The stakes? Massive. If Yachty could avoid getting pinned or submitted for five minutes, Trick would get his rematch. But if Corbin could beat Yachty in that allotted time, Williams would be banned from challenging for the U.S. title ever again. Despite the insane size and strength difference, Trick put his faith in his buddy and agreed to the stipulation.

And man, did that faith pay off! Lil Yachty, against all odds, showed some serious guts and resilience. He lasted the full five minutes in the ring with Baron Corbin. Think about that for a second! He survived! That unbelievably tough performance secured Trick Williams another shot at the United States Championship, and you know what happened next. Trick didn’t waste the opportunity. He went out there and, as the source says, promptly defeated Corbin, ultimately taking home the belt and becoming the United States Champion!
What a wild ride for Trick Williams and Lil Yachty! Trick’s got the gold now, and it’s all thanks to the incredible, unexpected resilience of his friend. You gotta wonder what Corbin does next after losing the title in such a dramatic fashion. One thing’s for sure: Trick Williams is champ, and that rivalry? It was one for the books!
