Bray Wyatt’s last appearance in WWE came against LA Knight
Earlier this year, Bray Wyatt made his triumphant return to WWE at Extreme Rules, continuing his Fiend gimmick and bringing back the Firefly Fun House characters. Wyatt also addressed his new mask, and everything pointed at a long storyline involving Uncle Howdy and several other superstars. At the time, it was LA Knight.
Bray Wyatt defeated LA Knight at the Royal Rumble. He was scheduled to be pitted against Lashley next. However, the plan was halted after Wyatt left WWE programming due to a life-threatening disease. And that was the last we saw of Bray Wyatt.
