Trick Williams retained the United States Championship on June 27, 2026. He defeated Ricky Saints at WWE Night of Champions. The match was grueling and ended when Williams pinned Saints.
As soon as the bell rang, Williams snatched a microphone and ribbed Saints. Fans replied loudly at his jab, amplifying the excitement to the finish.
This wasn’t the earliest mic showdown between them. A day earlier on the June 26 SmackDown episode, Saints had struck Williams with a microphone. That flash foreshadowed the clash for the Night of Champions contest.
