Bray Wyatt's tragic demise left the WWE Universe heartbroken. Still, fans are convinced the legendary superstar must be proud of a top babyface following his meteoric rise in the past year.
Bray's final televised match for the promotion was at Royal Rumble last year, where he locked horns with LA Knight. The latter suffered defeat against the former world champion, but the match cemented his push on WWE SmackDown.
A year later, LA Knight is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Royal Rumble this year. This would be the second time he will lock horns with The Tribal Chief with the gold online, having suffered defeat in his previous attempt at Crown Jewel 2023.

The fastest-rising megastar in WWE SmackDown's history was also the last wrestler to face Bray Wyatt. The two locked horns in singles matches at a few house shows after their meeting at Royal Rumble 2023. LA Knight credited Bray for helping his career and admitted to finding it difficult to take pride in being the latter's last opponent.
"So, yeah, so. It's tough to take pride in the fact that I was his last match because I wish I wasn't. So I really don't know how to think about that one, other than the fact that I can look at it in a way of just, you know, I made the most of that opportunity. I'm grateful for the opportunity that I had there to make that work. And I think it's it's one of the big reasons why I'm doing what I'm doing now," said Knight.
