WWE fans have been left scratching their heads following the match announcement, wondering what the stipulation will entail.

On WWE After The Bell, Knight noted that it has been indicated to him that bout match will be a street fight ‘kind of in the dark’.

Discussing the upcoming match, Knight said:

“Pitch Black Match, it’s something new in the making. There was something to the point of, ‘I don’t know what the hell this is, what the hell this is going to be.’

“Every indication I’ve been given is that this is going to be a kick ass street fight and be kind of in the dark. I don’t know what the lighting is going to be, how it’s going to work, what other kind of factors or elements are going to come into play.

“All I know is it’s going to be a fight at the Royal Rumble.”
