Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn at the Royal Rumble and beat him again in the Unsanctioned match at Elimination Chamber. The second result came under a different set of conditions.
That makes the comparison more useful than a simple repeat headline. Sami had a new environment in which to seek an answer, but Trick still emerged with the win. It does not tell us that every future meeting will follow the same pattern. It does tell us that changing the rules alone did not reverse this one.
