Trick Williams held onto the United States Championship on June 27, 2026. He defeated Ricky Saints at WWE Night of Champions. The match was hard‑fought and ended when Williams pinned Saints.
Right after the bell, Williams snatched a microphone and ribbed Saints. Fans cheered defiantly at his jab, heightening the drama 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.
