LA Knight discusses being Bray Wyatt’s final feud in WWE.
The former WWE Champion has been battling a mystery illness since earlier this year, but recent reports stated that Wyatt was on the mend. However, things have now took a tragic turn as Wyatt has tragically died, as announced by Triple H on social media last week.
After his death, there were a string of tributes from WWE superstars, including Mega Star LA Knight, who got to have a promo before his main event match on last week’s SmackDown where he paid tribute to his former rival. He would then go on to defeat Finn Balor in singles competition.
Speaking on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Knight was asked about the promo and working with Wyatt.
“It goes back to what I said on SmackDown, sometimes your biggest foes can be your biggest helpers. In a lot of ways, that whole interaction and whole story helped get me visibility and get me to where I am now. It’s tough to take pride in the fact that I was his last match because I wish I wasn’t.”

Knight and Wyatt’s feud would culminate in a Pitch Black Match at the 2023 Royal Rumble PLE.
Knight recently defeated The Miz this weekend at Payback, earning John Cena’s respect in the process.
