🏛️ WWE United States Championship Steel Cage Match: Trick Williams (c) vs. Baron Corbin
The main event spotlight shined bright on the United States Championship as champion Trick Williams (accompanied to the ring by special guest Lil Yachty) put his gold on the line inside a brutal steel structure against the veteran Baron Corbin.
-
Early Violence: The bell immediately triggered a war, with both men trading heavy leather. Corbin used his sheer size advantage to launch Williams face-first into the cold steel mesh, punishing the champion’s neck and back before executing a crushing Death Valley Driver for a near fall.
-
The Chaos Escalates: As the match spilled into the commercials, Corbin continued his systematic dismantling of the champion. Williams mounted a spirited comeback post-break, scaling the cage walls and exchanging blows on the top trellis with Corbin. In a jaw-dropping sequence, Corbin dragged Williams over the top for a sickening superplex right back down into the canvas.
-
Lil Yachty Intervenes: Seeking an escape, Williams crawled toward the cage door, but Corbin cut him off and ruthlessly kicked the heavy steel door right into the face of Lil Yachty.
-
History is Made: Capitalizing on the distraction, Williams unleashed his signature Trick Shot, but in an unprecedented moment that left the champion bleeding and completely stunned, Corbin kicked out—marking the first time anyone has ever survived the lethal finisher.
-
The Final Stand: Visibly frustrated and battered, Corbin tried to mount a final offensive with a German Suplex and Deep Six, but Williams refused to stay down. Digging deep into his reserves, Williams countered an End of Days attempt, violently smashed Corbin into the cage wall twice, and demolished the challenger with three consecutive Book Ends to secure the punishing victory and retain his championship.
