A look back at the program from Knight’s perspective.
From late 2022 through the 2023 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, L.A. Knight and Bray Wyatt were engaged in a an on-screen program.
That program concluded with a ‘Mountain Dew Pitch Black’ match. The final sequence of the bout saw Bray Wyatt besting Knight following Uncle Howdy delivering an elbow drop to Knight.
Ahead of the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, Knight made the media rounds and one of the outlets he spoke to was Inside The Ropes. He was asked about the program with Wyatt and stated that it put him on the map for a little bit. When it comes to the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match, he felt that he’d come out of it ‘pretty damn peachy’.
Well I feel like that whole thing, that whole interaction for those few months kind of put me on the map for a little bit because here I was in a very visible role finally, doing my thing, getting a chance to make the most of the minutes as they say because whether you’re going to give me 30 seconds or 30 minutes, I’m gonna make the damnedest of it and I’m gonna make you remember it and that’s exactly what I did so, no matter how the Mountain Dew match went, at the end of the day, I knew I was gonna come out of that pretty damn peachy and so from then on, it’s just kind of been this ground swell and it’s been picking up from there because I’ve been able to come out, just do my thing, be me, do me the way I know how to do and I’m getting everybody as far away from zero as possible. I’m gonna make you say something. Whether it’s good, bad, boo, cheer, do what you want.
Knight was part of the men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match which was won by Damian Priest.
