The Prince ultimately came out victorious, but after the show went off the air, Baron Corbin launched an attack on Williams. Mr. Lemon Pepper Stepper picked up the microphone afterward and challenged The Lone Wolf to a match at SummerSlam.

This would be Corbin’s first match since returning to WWE on the July 10 episode of SmackDown. The veteran disrupted the Trick Williams vs. Carmelo Hayes match and attacked both men before holding up the United States Championship upon his comeback.

Triple H has officially confirmed the match between Trick Williams and Baron Corbin for the United States Championship. The WWE CCO posted the following on his X account.

“One champion in his glory. One man looking to return to it. Trick Williams defends the US Title against Baron Corbin at #SummerSlam”

WWE star Trick Williams’ reaction to being attacked by Baron Corbin

Trick Williams was furious after getting ambushed by Baron Corbin following SmackDown. The United States Champion took shots at The Lone Wolf before challenging him to a match at SummerSlam.

“Hey, look here you big bald-headed bum. Maybe where you from, it’s okay to sneak a man while he ain’t looking. Fight when he don’t know what’s about to happen. But where I’m from, you knuckle up, look a man face to face, and fight like a real man. So prove to me that you ain’t scared. Prove to me that you don’t belong in retirement. Prove to me that you ain’t a b**ch. And you fight me one-on-one at SummerSlam,” Williams said.

It will be interesting to see if Corbin can dethrone Trick Williams at The Biggest Party of the Summer to capture the US Title for the second time in his career.
