Bray Wyatt will undoubtedly go down as one of the crucial creative minds to ever grace the wrestling business, and after returning to WWE on the Extreme Rules Premium Live Event in 2022, he entered right into a feud with LA Knight that will ultimately be his last as he passed away in August 2023. Knight was a recent guest on “Casual Conversations with The Classic,” where he was asked about being Wyatt’s final opponent, and it’s protected to say he holds that accolade near his heart.
“He was just a superb ass dude,” Knight said. “I mean just coming in straight from the beginning, form of allowing me the liberty to simply form of do what I needed to do to be me, while he’s doing what he needed to do to be him. I do not know if he wanted me to speak about puppets and whatever else and spooky whatever, but I’m in there just saying whatever involves mind.”
Wyatt’s last televised bout was the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match against Knight on the 2023 Royal Rumble, one which fans, and Knight himself, weren’t too thrilled about. “A whole lot of people perhaps weren’t super glad with the match, truthfully I wasn’t. I feel the presentation of it was cool, I feel the execution of it was a bit “ehh,” but a few of that was a matter of us not having an entire lot of time, simply because of how tight the show was.” The 2 men would get the prospect to rectify what happened on the Royal Rumble by facing one another in a variety of dark matches, and at live events, with those bouts being praised quite a bit greater than their initial meeting.
