It’s official, Baron Corbin will face Lil Yachty at Sunday Night’s Main Event, but this is a meticulously prepared bout.
Indeed, the Wrestling Observer confirms that Lil Yachty takes his role very seriously and that he has spent the past few months training at the WWE Performance Center in Florida. A private training he received from the wrestler Ivy Nile and her husband Ari Levy. Her husband is a fitness coach.
Backstage talk suggests that WWE officials were impressed by his dedication to the company. So they decided to arrange this buildup toward a first match to continue this storyline alongside Trick Williams.
The big moment will take place at Sunday Night’s Main Event. If Lil Yachty manages to survive five minutes against Baron Corbin, Trick Williams will earn a match for the United States Championship on the same night.
This will be a significant moment for Lil Yachty since his first career match will also occur in his hometown. For a reminder, he has been a huge wrestling fan since his youth and even in 2017 he dreamed of having a WWE debut thanks to his popularity as a rapper.
