Bray Wyatt began his second stint in WWE on a high note. After making his return at Survivor Series 2022, after his release back in 2021, Wyatt was welcome with the grandest reception. The crowd at Extreme Rules went crazy as Wyatt made his return to the company. However, even after returning in the month of October, The Eater of the World was not involved in a major feud until late 2022.
Towards the end of 2022, Wyatt involved himself in a feud with WWE SmackDown Superstar LA Knight. Their buildup in the feud led to both of them colliding at Royal Rumble 2023.
