Trick Williams Captures U.S. Title at WrestleMania 42

Overview

• Williams, who won Sunday at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, pinned Sami Zayn with the Trick Shot after rapper Lil Yachty intervened at ringside.
• The victory was Williams’ first WrestleMania match and first main-roster title since his January call-up, ending Zayn’s United States Championship reign at 23 days.
• Crowd reactions turned on Zayn throughout the bout, and after he blindsided Yachty earlier, the rapper’s return tipped the closing sequence in Williams’ favor.
• After the win, Williams embraced his parents at ringside and later said his mother pushed through rehab from a recent knee replacement to be there.
• As champion, Williams told ESPN he may drop the weekly U.S. Open Challenge, a shift that could make title defenses less frequent and more event-focused on SmackDown.
