Bray Wyatt decimated LA Knight in the Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match at the WWE Royal Rumble, but what happened after the match may be what people remember.
Bray Wyatt dominated LA Knight in the Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match, which turned out to be a No Disqualification Match with glow-in-the-dark lighting. This was Bray Wyatt's first broadcast match since WrestleMania 37 in 2021, and Wyatt would win the match with Sister Abigail, but after the match, fans would see more of Wyatt's demented universe.
Bray Wyatt put on a mask after the match. Even though Knight tried to escape him by utilizing a Kendo stick, Wyatt would chase Knight onto a platform and incapacitate him with a Mandible Claw. Then, Uncle Howdy would appear, jump off a higher platform onto Knight, and an explosion would go off as Wyatt watched Howdy and Knight crash to the floor.

In the background, the life-size versions of Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House mascots, Abby The Witch, Mercy The Buzzard, Ramblin' Rabbit, and Huskus The Pig Boy, were also watching on high from the perch where Howdy jumped.
As for Bray Wyatt's other masked personality, Wyatt says The Fiend "died" back at WrestleMania in 2021.
