WWE Royal Rumble: Fans call out 'embarrassing' botch during Bray Wyatt vs LA Knight match

WWE's first PPV event of the year saw major ups and downs with Dodey Rhodes returning and winning the 30-men event and Sami Zayn finally taking his stand against Roman Reigns and hitting him with a steel chair.

Among many other watchable games, there was one match between Bray Wyatt and LA Knight which was termed as 'Pitch black Match'. 

The match started with lights out and came back up neon. Bray Wyatt had his face painted so that the light would make him look monstrous while LA Knight’s trunks were glowing green. In the end, they did a big spot or two, with Knight putting Wyatt through the announcer’s desk, but it was Bray who won the match clean after hitting Sister Abigail.

During the match, Uncle Howdy showed up and jumped from a very high stage through the table Knight was on. Uncle Howdy clearly missed him completely and netizens came up with various hilarious reacctions about that miss.
