On SmackDown, the Gingerbread Man is resurrected during a funeral tribute orchestrated by Trick Williams, prompting Sami Zayn to vow revenge at Backlash. The storyline escalates when the “dead” man sits up, only to reveal Lil Yachty in disguise, who then blasts Zayn with a candy cane and helps set up a Zayn vs Williams showdown at WWE Backlash.
WWE reportedly faces internal criticism of the Gingerbread Man gimmick in Sami Zayn and Trick Williams’ feud, with insiders calling it hokey and archaic, even as the angle continues and a “funeral” for Gingy is teased for the May 8 SmackDown, leaving fans to debate whether the over-the-top segment works or derails the feud.
