Baron Corbin Attacked By Trick Williams After US Title Defense On WWE Smackdown

Baron Corbin is still the WWE United States Champion following his match on WWE Smackdown, but ran afoul of Trick Williams in the aftermath. Friday night’s episode of Smackdown saw Corbin put his title on the line in a match against Carmelo Hayes. The former champion used his speed to try and counter Corbin’s power offense, and managed to get a nearfall off of a frog splash. However, in the end it was Corbin who picked up the win as he hit the End of Days in about nine and a half minutes to retain his title.

After the match, Corbin was confronted by Trick Williams who appeared on the entrance stage. That was a distraction for Lil Yachty to hit Corbin with a kendo stick, which Corbin shrugged off. He snatched the stick and swung as Yachty slid out of the ring to escape, then got nailed with a Trick Shot that sent him to the floor.

You can see clips from the WWE Smackdown match below. Corbin’s title reign stands at 13 days, having defeated Williams for it at WWE SummerSlam night two.
