Challenge accepted.
Bray Wyatt opened Friday's WWE SmackDown by apologizing to the cameraman that he attacked last Friday. He was quickly interrupted by LA Knight, who called Wyatt a fraud before challenging him to a match at WWE Royal Rumble.
Wyatt accepted the bout, saying it was time to remind the world how cruel he could be.
Before things could continue between Wyatt and Knight, Uncle Howdy came out and stood alongside Wyatt before hitting him with the Sister Abigail. Knight quickly exited the ring.

It was later confirmed that Wyatt vs. Knight would be a "Pitch Black Match," though no details were given on what a "Pitch Black" match is. The bout is sponsored by Mountain Dew.
Royal Rumble would mark Wyatt's first television match in WWE since his bout against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37.
