Baron Corbin Wins WWE United States Championship at SummerSlam 2026

Baron Corbin captured the WWE United States Championship on Night 2 of SummerSlam 2026 by defeating Trick Williams. After returning to WWE on the July 10 episode of SmackDown, Corbin targeted the title and secured a match at the pay‑per‑view. During the bout, Williams’ manager‑turned‑ring‑assistant Lil Yachty was knocked off the apron, and a distracted referee allowed Corbin to strike Williams with the championship belt before delivering his End of Days finisher for the pinfall. The victory marked Corbin’s first main‑roster singles title since 2017 and his second reign with the United States belt. In the post‑show interview, Corbin announced he would remove the faux‑fur customization added by Williams and restore the belt to its original design, emphasizing his “mission” and willingness to cause “collateral damage” to opponents. The win ends Williams’ 100‑day reign and sets up future challengers on WWE SmackDown.
