"Didn't spend at all getting us excited about it" - WWE veteran suggests Bray Wyatt has failed to hype up his upcoming match with LA Knight
Bray Wyatt's first official match will take place at the upcoming Royal Rumble Premium Live Event against LA Knight.
After weeks of build-up, the two popular superstars will collide in the first-ever Mountain Dew Pitch Black match. This will be Wyatt's first televised match since returning to WWE in October 2022 at Extreme Rules.
On last week's episode of the Friday Night show, Wyatt delivered a promo from his famous wooden rocking chair. He made it clear that LA Knight was in for a fight when he stepped into their Pitch Black match at the Rumble.
Speaking on Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, Cornette discussed Wyatt's promo from last week's episode of SmackDown. He stated how Wyatt mentioned Knight's name just once throughout the entire promo.
Jim Cornette further suggested that the former Universal Champion failed to hype up his return match.
"He mentioned LA Knight's name once in this promo saying 'When the lights go out you should run.' So apparently it's going to be a dark match of some description with very faint lighting, otherwise we have no idea what the rules are or the stipulations or whatever and he didn't spend at all getting us excited about it, did he?" said Jim Cornette.
