WWE’s Sunday Night’s Main Event delivered an unexpectedly strong card on September 6, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The five-match event, which marked the first time the classic wrestling program aired on a Sunday rather than Saturday, featured multiple compelling storylines that advanced several key rivalries heading into the fall season.
The evening’s most significant development came when Trick Williams captured the United States Championship from Baron Corbin after an 11-minute contest. Williams’ victory came directly after surviving a five-minute challenge against celebrity participant Lil Yachty, earning him an immediate title opportunity. The title change set the stage for fresh directions in the mid-card championship picture as Williams enters his second reign with the belt.
Perhaps the night’s biggest surprise was the return of Bronson Reed, who had been absent from WWE television for months. Reed’s shocking appearance ended the Oba Femi versus Bron Breakker match, launching a brutal assault that included multiple Tsunami moves on Femi while also taking Breakker’s spears. The comeback reestablished Reed as a formidable force moving forward, while the non-finish between Femi and Breakker kept both competitors credible and suggested their rivalry would continue.
In women’s competition, Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab defeated Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley in a match that saw the victorious team pay tribute to the legendary R&B group TLC with their attire. Cargill pinned Flair to extend her undefeated record at Main Event events, now standing at 3-0 including a previous Women’s Championship victory at the same venue.
