Overview
- Sami Zayn, who answered Carmelo Hayes' open challenge Friday, won the United States Championship from a champion who had held the belt since late 2025.
- Trick Williams grabbed the belt, distracted the referee, then accidentally punched Hayes, which let Zayn hit a Helluva Kick for the pin.
- Earlier in the show, GM Nick Aldis told Zayn he had no WrestleMania spot, then awarded Trick Williams a match at the event.
- After the title change, Aldis booked Zayn to defend the U.S. Championship against Williams at WrestleMania 42.
- Wrestling outlets including WrestleVotes via Fightful reported the planned title switch hours before the broadcast, which the show later confirmed.
