WrestleMania 42 results: Trick Williams beats Sami Zayn to capture first WWE title
Trick Williams earned his first WWE main roster championship at WrestleMania 42.
Trick Williams pulled off the win in his WrestleMania debut Sunday at WrestleMania 42 Night 2 in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas . After defeating Sami Zayn with his patented Trick Shot, Williams will now begin his reign as WWE's new United States Champion. Zayn remained a sudden pseudo-heel in the eyes of the crowd for this one.
From his entrance to his early offensive success, the Las Vegas faithful weren't having it with Zayn. Williams, however, gained loud cheers as he started rattling off moves, though he was met with his first scare after running into a boot and getting hit with a Blue Thunder Bomb that resulted in a two-count.

He tried to aid his friend midway through the match until Zayn took the rapper out with an attack from behind, sending Yachty crashing into the barricade and having Zayn embrace the heel role he's been forced into by the fans' rejection. Williams then ate a nasty Brainbuster on the apron before a Helluva Kick connected to Williams' chin.
