Trick Williams Defeats Laredo Kid at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event: NYC

WWE United States Champion Trick Williams overcame a stiff challenge posed by AAA veteran Laredo Kid at the Countdown to Saturday Night’s Main Event: NYC to emerge victorious.

Trick tried to play mind games initially as he ripped off a part of Laredo’s mask. However, the AAA veteran responded by showcasing his acrobatic skills to catch the champion off-guard.

Laredo executed the spinning Moonsault twice, targeted Williams’ legs by locking in the half Boston Crab, but he could not emerge victorious. In the closing moments of the match, he attempted another spinning Moonsault, but Trick rolled out of the way and followed it up with the Trick Shot to secure the pinfall.
