Add as a preferred source on Google With just hours to go before Saturday Night’s Main Event this Saturday, WWE has announced another match for the card at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Current United States Champion Trick Williams will face Laredo Kid on the event’s Countdown pre-show. Williams is pictured with the belt in the promotional material, though WWE has not confirmed the title will be on the line.
Williams enters the match amid his ongoing issues on Friday Night SmackDown. On last night’s show, the champion once again traded barbs with Carmelo Hayes, while Baron Corbin made it clear that Trick is the first name on his list of targets.
