Trick Williams needed a lot of things to go right at Sunday Night’s Main Event to capture the United States Championship for the second time.
First, he needed his manager Lil Yachty to last five minutes in the ring with Baron Corbin for Williams to get another shot at the title. Luckily, Yachty held his own in the ring and was able to get Williams his title opportunity despite being put through a table after the bell.

Williams got the match for the United States Championship moments after the match. With the State Farm Arena in Atlanta in full support of Williams, he came down to the ring in style. Corbin was waiting for him and the bell started.
It was a back-and-forth match from the very beginning. Each man delivered forearm arm shots and double clotheslines trying to get the upper hand. Corbin looked like he was going to walk away with the title once again. He catapulted Williams into the steel steps and into the ring post. He took a breather on the outside and grabbed the U.S. title.

Corbin was about to drag it back into the ring before Yachty started a tug-of-war for the belt. Yachty was halfway into the ring before the referee tended to him. Corbin nailed Williams with the belt and tried to pin him. Williams kicked out.
Williams then hit the Trick Shot and pinned Corbin for the win.
It’s the second United States Championship reign for Williams. He first achieved the title when he beat Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 42 this year. He lost the belt to Corbin at SummerSlam and finally got the opportunity to win it back and cashed in.

With Money in the Bank around the corner, Williams will certainly have a few challengers at his title. Carmelo Hayes comes to mind as does Johnny Gargano and Ricky Saints.
