Wyatt was involved in a major segment with his arch-rival LA Knight. While making his way down to the ring, the former WWE Champion said Harper's traditional "yeah yeah yeah" catchphrase.
The gesture might've felt like a dig at Knight's catchphrase, but it made sense for him to pay his respects to Harper.

During today's segment on SmackDown, Uncle Howdy also made his first live appearance, as he confronted Knight after the latter assaulted Wyatt.
Since returning to WWE at Extreme Rules, the former Universal Champion is yet to compete in a match. However, WWE has teased the idea of a potential bout between Wyatt and Knight at some point down the road.
