00:00about someone like Trick Williams my guy here he is I told you Wade little Yachty I told you well
00:07even I got a handshake from Lil Yachty so I guess he's my guy too all right Michael Cole stop
00:12posting
00:12he doesn't know you here we go Sammy Zane Trick Williams for the United States Championship oh
00:17man polar opposites a vet versus a relative rookie a salt of the earth personality versus
00:22an egomaniac and Sammy now takes down Trick Williams who you call an egomaniac obviously
00:28Trick Williams he loves himself and the world loves him too no problem with that ego but
00:32Sammy's got a bit of change in demeanor as of late as well so I want to talk about that
00:36because
00:37Sammy Zane has had a disastrous 2026 up until a couple of weeks ago where he won gold to me
00:43though
00:43that is putting a band-aid over the cracks and if Sammy Zane loses gold tonight where the hell will
00:50he spiral to yeah Trick Williams a hot start in his career as a two-time NXT champion he was
00:56a
00:56one-time TNA world champion NXT North American champion as well as Sammy sends him over the top
01:02rope to the floor about this Sammy Zane is pretty much the last 10 years of WWE and what is
01:08anticipated
01:09to be the next 10 years of WWE is Trick Williams and look at how quickly Trick Williams gets back
01:15into the ring with a wicked clothesline and now another one to Sammy Zane and here comes Williams
01:19here's the brilliance of Trick Williams his speed of learning this industry has been faster than pretty
01:25much anyone I have ever seen a nice trick slap breaker Sammy went for the blue thunder bomb and
01:31Trick Williams countered first with a cyclone boot and then with that neck breaker yeah the biggest stage of
01:39Trick's career and he is not backing down he didn't come here to belong he came here to take over
01:45and
01:45this man started in football American football weight he was a two-time letterman at the University of
01:51South Carolina a walk-on athlete walked onto the team cover off the bookend and a kick out at two
01:57paying homage to the great hall of famer Booker T who's been very influential in the career of Trick Williams
02:05we talked about Zane having a massive experience advantage both in years and under the Wrestlemania
02:11spark light and he's gonna need all of that here blue thunder bomb cover to retain and it looks like
02:18Williams was going for that trick shot jumping knee and Sammy was able to defend well they're pretty
02:23much all gone trick's way and this is where the questions start to come in for a younger competitor
02:28who is less experienced at this level when things stop going your way where's your resilience
02:33where's your mindset how is your psyche gonna handle this the referee in this matchup Jason
02:39Ayers backing the champion Sammy Zane off remember Sammy Zane has the advantage trick's got a pin or
02:45submit him here tonight and Sammy Zane now unloading on Williams a bit uncharacteristic for Sammy well
02:51certainly there are advantages to being the champ there's also advantage to having a little yachty on
02:55the outside of your hype man and as we've seen on Smackdown the past couple of weeks doesn't mind
03:01getting physical at times too Zane's got to be aware of that little yachty checking on his
03:06his guy and Sammy Zane now outside the ring yeah he better turn around oh Sammy Zane now
03:12well Zane has taken some shots from Yachty as I just mentioned and there is your payback
03:19Zane's talked a lot about ride or die those are the fans that have been with him in the beginning
03:25through thick and thing and then and still stick with Yachty is driven into the barricade well if
03:32trick Williams did have an advantage on the outside that advantage has now gone away and
03:38it truly is one-on-one and trick looks to be a major trouble now
03:44and Sammy Zane now that killer instinct driving trick into the post this is what Sammy had to do
03:52take trick and the crowd completely out of this oh trick Williams at this point looks lost
04:00oh remember
04:02being on the grand stage of Wrestlemania a new thing for him Sammy Zane
04:08has had very successful Wrestlemania's over the years you have so much adrenaline and excitement
04:14coming into your first Wrestlemania has that oh no brain buster right on the apron a brain buster to
04:20Williams
04:21and that is absolutely devastating to trick Williams his host landing high and tight right on the back
04:31of the neck the back of the head and I gotta say Wade you've been following the Sammy story
04:36for weeks now on SmackDown this is a much different Sammy Zane than I'm accustomed to it had to be
04:42Sammy Zane was taking too many L Sammy Zane was getting made a mockery of by people like trick
04:49Williams has taunted him calling the gingerbread man told Tommy has no star appeal well guess what
04:55Sammy Zane has a hell of a lot in the tank he might not look like the prototypical star like
05:02a trick Williams
05:02but boy oh boy can he fight Sammy Zane measuring Williams now driving Williams to the barricade with
05:09a boot you think Sammy not having an opportunity well he's had the opportunities but it hasn't been
05:15able to cash in on a world championship finally sent him over the edge well that's where it all went
05:20wrong
05:20at Royal Rumble earlier this year against the then champ Drew McIntyre lost the opportunity but gold sank and sank
05:27and
05:27suddenly has turned things around in a big way I just want to point out that Sammy was pointing to
05:32his knee pads that's where the ride or die is painted on them well he's made it clear people in
05:38the
05:38oh the camera's getting high here wait a second oh trick Williams falling down now and the official
05:43close to a count out here at eight a count of nine trick Williams barely beats the count into the
05:49rank
05:49barely he might be right for the pickings now and Sammy Zane knows that but talking about the ride
05:55or dies and referee hey we saw this a couple of weeks ago with Carmelo Hayes little distraction
06:00there from the referee who's trying to check on trick Williams and no hesitation to pounce there
06:05from Sammy Zane say what it is it's a cheap shot it's a smart shot in my book and plenty
06:11of people
06:11have done this too and this is how he beat Carmelo Hayes Sammy Zane with Williams coming up in the
06:17corner Zane looking for an aluba kick to put trick Williams away and a little Yachty from behind
06:23hanging Zane up top rope bang cover
06:28two three almost had him oh with the referee's back turned Lil Yachty back from the dead almost
06:36winning it for trick Williams one shot didn't do it the second might no call
06:43Sammy trying to drag himself to his feet went for the trick shot Sammy Zane from behind he rolls up
06:49Williams shoulders down kick out at two by trick such incredible speed of thought from Sammy Zane
06:54an explorer into the corner and now Sammy's got Williams exactly where he wants him well hype is
07:01temporary but class is permanent and Sammy Zane is class through and through from bell to bell
07:08Zane measuring his man across the ring trick shot trick shot from out of nowhere
07:16trick Williams wins the United States title
07:32trick Williams is officially anointed with the gold
07:37trick willy mania reign supreme the new United States champion trick Williams is officially anointed with the gold
07:48and this is where Sammy Zane was going in for the kill and Lil Yachty had been dropped earlier
07:53behind the referee's back open it up for this big old boot to the face
07:59just a millisecond away from victory but Sammy Zane we know how deep he can dig one
08:06exploder suplex later and it was Sammy's for the taking lining up for that halluva kick that has done so
08:13much damage but simply beating him to the punch with that trick shot
08:18knee pad down knee pad down and we got a new jump
08:23as we have seen tonight at Wrestlemania Sunday how bright is the future for wwe
08:32over the folks in the ladder match and the new United States champion
08:54and there's Rick Williams mom and dad front row watching her son with an historic Wrestlemania tonight
