Talk about paying the price! Rapper Lil Yachty made his official WWE in-ring debut at Sunday Night’s Main Event on Sept. 6, and man, it sounds like he got put through the wringer. Just a day later, during an appearance on *Insight with Chris Van Vliet*, Yachty straight up said he felt “like s–t,” adding he felt “like someone hit me with a bag of bricks.” That’s a rough assessment after your first go!
Five Minutes of Fury, A Championship Reward
The stakes were seriously high for Yachty’s debut match against Baron Corbin. He wasn’t just in there for kicks; if Yachty could survive five minutes without getting pinned or submitted, his buddy Trick Williams would get another shot at the U.S. title. And you know what? Despite taking a brutal beating, Yachty somehow managed to make it to that five-minute mark. That’s grit right there! His perseverance paid off big time, too, because Trick Williams then went on to beat Corbin and became a two-time United States champion. What a payoff for Yachty’s pain!
“My Shoulder Felt Dislocated” and What It Means for His Future
The aftermath for Yachty sounds absolutely gnarly. He told Van Vliet that when he woke up the next morning, “my shoulder felt dislocated.” He wasn’t kidding about the pain either, detailing how his “kneecaps, my shins” were messed up, and he “couldn’t even tighten my hand.” He even mentioned his lower back and “whatever this is behind the kneecap,” saying, “When I first sat up in bed, it was the most pain I ever felt in my life. … I feel like I’m wrestling for 20 years. Man, it’s bad.” This isn’t out of nowhere either, he’s been a pro wrestling fan for ages and started getting physically involved back in March, even taking punishment from Sami Zayn around WrestleMania 42 and getting put through a table by Corbin at SummerSlam. Given he powered through all that pain and made it happen for Trick Williams, you gotta wonder what’s next for him in the wrestling world. This dude’s got heart, that’s for sure!
