At WWE Royal Rumble, Bray Wyatt wrestled his first televised match since his return to the company at WWE Extreme Rules.
Wyatt competed in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black match against LA Knight, which was a lights out street fight with neon gear and paint standing out. After the match, Wyatt donned a new mask that glowed in the setting.
Speaking to Soundsphere, Callosum Studios' Jason Baker, who collaborates with Bray on his various masks, Baker was asked about the difficulties of doing the gear for the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match.
"There was none because Bray is a phenomenal artist and he does concept art for us and he's like, 'here, make this.' 'Sure thing, man' We'll throw ideas back and forth, but it's always him. He's always the mastermind that comes up with this stuff. 'Cool, we can have it to you by next Saturday.' Having someone that is very creative like him, he makes our job very easy. I can't tell you how many times we've worked on films or scripts or other things and they're like, 'make us something scary.' What does that mean? What you might think of as scary, I might think of as hokey. You tell me what you need. Him knowing exactly what he wants to see, knowing his vision, knowing where he wants to take his character and everything just makes our life so much more convenient. I'm so grateful to work with someone who is such a visionary and has so many ideas," said Baker.
Wyatt was victorious in the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match. The segment ended with Uncle Howdy jumping off a platform and through the staging onto LA Knight.
On the February 17 episode of WWE SmackDown, Wyatt revealed he would be targetting the winner of Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar from WWE Elimination Chamber. Lashley was victorious in the bout, winning by DQ.
