Baron Corbin captured the WWE United States Championship from Trick Williams on Sunday night, August 3rd, 2026, at WWE SummerSlam in the United States. Corbin, who returned to WWE a few weeks prior with intentions to challenge for the title, took advantage of a distracted Williams during the match to secure the championship once again.

Williams entered the match accompanied by his valet, rapper Lil Yachty, whose interference ultimately backfired. At one point, Yachty threatened Corbin with the "Trick Stick," causing Corbin to momentarily focus on Williams. Later, Corbin hip-checked Williams into Yachty, who crashed through a table, further turning the tide in Corbin's favor.

Corbin had departed WWE in 2024 and made a significant impact on the independent wrestling scene. He appeared in Major League Wrestling, where he was a tag team champion alongside Donovan Dijak, before deciding to rejoin WWE.
