Story summary

Trick Williams won the US title at Sunday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, but his path to victory required some luck and help from his manager Lil Yachty. To set up the main event, Yachty had to last five minutes in the ring with Baron Corbin, which he did despite being put through a table after the bell. Williams then got his title opportunity and went on to win the match for the US Championship moments later. The State Farm Arena in Atlanta was full of supporters cheering for Williams as he defeated Corbin in a back-and-forth match that saw both men deliver strong blows, including forearm shots and double clotheslines.
