They bragged about beating The Miz last week. It took about 30 seconds before Carmelo Hayes came out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Melo said Trick screwed him out of his U.S. title, and despite always believing in him, he doesn&#8217;t think Williams is a fighting champion. Yachty tried to make excuses for why Trick couldn&#8217;t defend the title, but Melo taunted him. Williams said he was willing to face him, but he wouldn&#8217;t put the title on the line. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">As anyone would expect, they had a highly entertaining and enjoyable match. Both men felt like they were treating this as more than a throwaway match, and the crowd was into all of it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Ricky Saints showed up to watch from ringside, but he didn&#8217;t make it clear what his intentions were right away. He got on the apron and it caused enough of a distraction for Williams to hit the Trick Shot and score the win. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Result: Williams defeated Hayes<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Notable Moments and Observations<\/p>\n<p>\nAldis found Danhausen running his experiment backstage. <\/p>\n<p>Fraxiom had a quick encounter with The Miz and Kit Wilson that led to Miz challenging Axiom to a match. <\/p>\n<p>This was the first time Yachty has been funny in a segment. <\/p>\n<p>Williams and Melo always work so well together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last time in action:\u00a0Williams defeated The Miz (SD, May 15), Hayes defeated Ricky Saints (SD, May 15) Trick&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":687809,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75],"class_list":["post-687808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
