LA Knight has opened up about his segment with WWE Hall of Famer the Undertaker on the 30th Anniversary edition of WWE Raw.
During the January 23 show, the SmackDown star called out Bray Wyatt, but the ‘American Badass’ Undertaker answered the call instead.
The Deadman ultimately caught Knight and passed him back to Wyatt, who delivered a Sister Abigail to his rival.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Knight noted that it was a last minute decision for him to appear on Raw.
Discussing the segment, Knight said:
“I didn’t even know I would be going to Raw. Last minute, ‘Alright, you guys are going to Raw.’ Why? ‘Royal Rumble is coming around, we got the Pitch Black match, the Royal Rumble, all this stuff.’ It’s go go go.”
“He was about this close to getting slapped in the mouth. I decided to spare him.”
“You always hear the cliche, ‘When you’re standing in that ring and the bell tolls, it’s chills.’ Yeah, sure [sarcastically]. When that sum bitch hit, it was chills. It was pretty wild.
“At the same time, to be standing there and doing my thing and to be very recognized, that audience was right on top of everything I had to say, even with Undertaker in the ring.
“That’s a big feather in my cap, as far as I’m concerned. At the same time, looking at a guy who is undoubtedly a legend, Hall of Famer, crazy night leading into the Royal Rumble.”
Wyatt and Knight will face off in a Pitch Black match at the January 28 Royal Rumble premium live event.
