WWE Backlash Results: Trick Williams (c) VS Sami Zayn

Whoop that Trick! Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn at Backlash to retain the United States Championship.

Throughout the match, Sami Zayn would put his focus on Lil Yachty instead of turning his attention to Trick. Sami would show more heel tendencies throughout the match, with Trick being the obvious favorite with the Tampa crowd. Trick and Sami would have a physical battle, but Sami just couldn’t stop focusing on the outside area.

Sami would then go out to the outside ring and take out his frustration on Yachty but Trick would go out to help his friend. Sami would take down Trick and throw him inside the ring.

In the closing moments of the match Sami would take out Lil Yachty with a Helluva Kick to the back of the head in the corner of the barricade. Sami would then laugh at the crowd as they boo’d. Zayn would then roll back into the ring to try to land a Helluva Kick on Trick. Williams would then counter and land a Trickshot to end the match and retain the United States Championship.

WWE is slowly turning Zayn into a heel with Trick turning babyface. It will be interesting to see where the story goes from here.
