Lil Yachty Confirms He's Under Contract With WWE, Would Love To Wrestle Trick Williams - Wrestling Inc.
Lil Yachty says he is WWE’s first artist on contract and could face Trick Williams after helping him regain the United States title.
- On September 6, rapper Lil Yachty made his official WWE in-ring debut at WWE Sunday Night's Main Event, surviving five minutes against Baron Corbin to secure Trick Williams an immediate U.S. title opportunity.
- Yachty has been under a formal WWE contract since around WrestleMania 42 after WWE executive Bruce Prichard approached him with an offer to join the company's roster as a contracted performer.
- Following the grueling match, Yachty told Chris Van Vliet he felt "like s--t," adding, "I feel like someone hit me with a bag of bricks" while describing intense pain across his shoulders, back, and knees.
- Williams defeated Corbin shortly after to become the two-time WWE United States Champion, successfully capitalizing on the title opportunity created by his manager's five-minute performance.
- WWE fans continue to wonder if the Williams-Yachty alliance will eventually lead to them clashing in the ring, though Yachty has indicated openness to a potential future confrontation with his friend.
