Trick Williams Defends United States Championship Against Baron Corbin in Steel Cage

Baron Corbin will challenge Trick Williams for the WWE United States Championship in a steel cage on Friday’s SmackDown in Indianapolis. General Manager Nick Aldis announced the stipulation after Corbin attacked Williams and Lil Yachty with a kendo stick, with the match expected to conclude their months-long rivalry. The episode will also feature two Money in the Bank qualifying triple-threat matches, one for the men’s field and one for the women’s field.
The rivalry began when Baron Corbin made a surprise WWE return in July, and Corbin captured the United States Championship from Trick Williams at SummerSlam the following month before Williams later regained it.
Lil Yachty’s involvement followed a five-minute match against Corbin at Sunday Night’s Main Event; Yachty survived and helped create the opportunity for Williams to win back the United States Championship.
Trick Williams has already qualified for the men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, joining Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans and Penta in the advertised field.
Nick Aldis said the feud could not be contained by “the confines of traditional competition,” explaining why he selected a steel cage for the championship match.
