After Sami Zayn’s emotional promo on the penultimate episode of the blue brand before the PLE, he was confronted by Williams and his newfound ally, Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Yachty. Later that night, Zayn delivered a Helluva Kick to Yachty at ringside, perhaps proving that he was willing to do whatever it took to keep his gold.

That said, in this article, we will take a look at four possible finishes for Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams at WrestleMania 42:

#4. Trick Williams could beat Sami Zayn clean

Trick Williams is officially acting as a heel on the main roster. However, he has been getting overwhelmingly positive reactions from the crowd. Although he was introduced as a villain on SmackDown, he has quickly become very popular, with fans chanting “Whoop That Trick” every time he steps into the arena.

WWE has likely spent months building the upstart as the future of the company. Defeating a multiple-time champion and a WrestleMania main eventer like Sami Zayn in a clean, decisive victory would help bring him to the spotlight and even turn him babyface.

A surprise Trick Shot knee strike followed by a three-count to win the US Title would establish Williams as a top-tier star on Friday Night SmackDown.

#3. Lil Yachty could interfere and help Trick Williams win

Fans have seen several occasions where celebrities have played a pivotal role at The Showcase of the Immortals.

The alliance between Lil Yachty and Trick Williams isn’t just for show; it’s a tactical partnership. After Zayn laid out Yachty with a Helluva Kick on WWE SmackDown, the rapper has every reason to seek revenge against the United States Champion.

Imagine a scenario where the referee is momentarily incapacitated. The Underdog from The Underground sets up for the winning move, only for Yachty to hop on the apron or use a foreign object to distract the champion. This would allow Trick to take advantage, potentially hitting a low blow or a devastating finisher while the official’s back is turned.

This type of finish would preserve Sami Zayn’s reputation as a resilient, fighting champion while allowing Trick Williams to earn the victory at WrestleMania 42. That’s not all. It would reinforce Trick’s image as a heel who thrives on causing trouble and leveraging his high-profile connections to get ahead in the company.

#2. Sami Zayn could retain clean

Never underestimate Sami Zayn’s heart. While Trick Williams may be the current rising star, Zayn has spent the past year showing that his late-career resurgence is genuine. The Underdog from the Underground has often pulled off unforgettable WrestleMania moments when his back was against the wall, as seen with Gunther and The Bloodline in the past.

If Zayn retains the WWE United States Title clean, it would tell a story of veteran experience and resilience triumphing over youthful arrogance. Trick has the speed and strength, but Sami’s greatest asset could be his ring IQ. A surprise Helluva Kick or a perfectly timed counter into a Koji Clutch he rarely uses now, after surviving a barrage of offense, could see Sami Zayn leave Las Vegas still holding onto his belt.

This outcome would push Trick Williams to further develop his character, showing he’s not quite ready for the top just yet.

#1. Carmelo Hayes could interfere and cost Trick Williams the WWE United States Title match

Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes have been at odds over the past few weeks on Friday Night SmackDown.

Fans were shocked when Sami Zayn defeated Carmelo Hayes for the WWE United States Championship just weeks ago, and it was quite obvious that Trick’s interference was the reason Carmelo was no longer champion.

Hayes is currently absent from the WrestleMania card, and fans seem unhappy about that. However, this could be a sign that Triple H and his creative team might consider booking him to interfere in the upcoming WWE United States Championship match at the premium live event.

With this in mind, just as Trick Williams appears ready to win the gold, Carmelo Hayes could suddenly come from the crowd or the back to exact his revenge. By interfering and costing Trick the match, Melo would avenge his lost title and reignite one of the most personal feuds in modern WWE NXT history at the PLE.

An interference from Carmelo Hayes would ensure Trick leaves empty-handed, setting up a massive post-WrestleMania rivalry between the two former best friends while allowing Sami Zayn to escape with his title intact.
