Trick Williams Wins WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 42
Trick Williams won the WWE United States Championship on April 19, 2026, at WrestleMania 42 held in Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas. This victory marks a significant milestone for Williams as it is his first title reign on the WWE main roster.
The match against Sami Zayn lasted seven minutes. It showcased a fierce rivalry that began when Williams suggested that Zayn couldn’t get the job done. This claim set the stage for their encounter at one of wrestling’s biggest events.
Lil Yachty played a crucial role during the match, assisting Trick Williams. Fans were vocal during the celebration, chanting “whoop that Trick” as he reveled in his victory.
Williams secured the win with his signature move, the Trick Shot. Interestingly, this was only the second time he attempted this maneuver during the match—highlighting its effectiveness and his strategic approach.
Before this event, Trick Williams had already established himself as a formidable competitor, previously holding two NXT Championships and winning the TNA World Championship in May 2025. His journey to this point included a call-up to the main roster earlier in 2026.
This victory is particularly notable as Sami Zayn had not appeared at WrestleMania in 2025. The stakes were high for both competitors, making this championship win all the more significant for Trick Williams.
As fans celebrated alongside him and Lil Yachty post-match, it was clear that Williams had earned gold in his WrestleMania debut—a remarkable achievement for any wrestler.
Williams will now begin his reign as WWE’s new United States Champion. This title win not only elevates his status but also sets up potential future rivalries and storylines within WWE.
The implications of this match extend beyond just a title change; it reshapes the competitive landscape of WWE and highlights Trick Williams’ rapid ascent since joining the main roster.
