LA Knight got tough treatment from former WWE superstar
The megastar made his main roster debut under a year ago. LA Knight's first big rivalry was against the brilliant Bray Wyatt. The rivalry was one of its kind, something that can never be done again. The different angles, characters, and supernatural effects made it interesting.
A few days ago, LA Knight paid tribute to Bray Wyatt after the latter suddenly passed away. He mentioned that Wyatt gave him the most difficult time of his life.
“I walked out here in the building tonight and saw here everybody representing with the fireflies and it just got me thinking, it got me thinking bank in my mind that sometimes your greatest foes can turn out to be your greatest helpers. Bray and I endured challenging times together, and he brought a lot of hardship into my life. Yet, his actions ultimately prepared me for any challenges that came my way."
However, the Megastsar also accepted the fact that Wyatt taught him to face the worst of things. While they weren't the best of friends, Knight ended his segment on SmackDown by saying, "Thank you, Bray!"
