Trick Williams Retains WWE United States Championship Over Ricky Saints

Trick Williams successfully defended the WWE United States Championship at the Night of Champions pay‑per‑view held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, defeating challenger Ricky Saints. Saints opened the bout with a surprise attack and controlled much of the early action, even tricking the referee into believing Lil Yachty had struck him with a kendo stick, which led to the rapper’s removal from ringside. Williams rallied in the later stages, countered Saints’ offense and secured the victory with his signature Trick Shot, marking his first singles win over Saints and extending his reign.

The showdown followed a series of heated exchanges on WWE SmackDown, including a London‑hosted segment where the crowd chanted “Who are you?” at Saints and a backstage confrontation involving Lil Yachty. Williams also referenced his recent wedding in Jamaica during the promos, while Saints taunted him and his friend. The rivalry’s intensity built up to the Riyadh match, where both competitors delivered high‑impact moves and tribute spots before Williams emerged as champion.
