Four possible finishes for Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams on SmackDown’s October 30 Halloween special
Sami Zayn defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Trick Williams on the October 30 Halloween SmackDown. WrestleTalk lists four plausible endings, from a clean retention to outside interference or a title change.
WrestleTalk reports that Trick Williams will challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn on the October 30 Halloween special episode of Friday Night SmackDown. The match was arranged after a series of heated interactions and a formal request for a title shot on the October 23 SmackDown.
According to WrestleTalk, context for the bout includes Zayn winning the Undisputed WWE Championship on the September 11 episode of SmackDown by defeating CM Punk, then retaining the title in later defences — most recently a victory over Je’Von Evans on the October 26 episode of Raw. Williams enters as the WWE United States Champion, having beaten Zayn for that title at WrestleMania 42 and keeping it in a rematch at WWE Backlash 2026.
WrestleTalk outlines four possible finishes for the title match on October 30:
- Clean retention — Zayn wins a decisive match and leaves SmackDown still Undisputed WWE Champion.
- Retention via disqualification — Zayn gets disqualified on purpose and therefore keeps the title, following his earlier losses to Williams for the U.S. belt.
- External interference — WrestleTalk notes Damian Priest was seen backstage upset after the match was announced; Priest could interfere and cost Williams the match, protecting Trick while setting up a new program.
- Title change — Trick Williams defeats Zayn and becomes Undisputed WWE Champion, completing a sweep over Zayn after their recent U.S. title matches.
WrestleTalk frames these as possible scenarios rather than confirmed outcomes. The match is scheduled for the October 30 SmackDown Halloween special.
