The Waiting Game: Will Bray Wyatt Be Honored?
Despite fervent wishes and rumors, the final inductee for this year appears to be Lia Maivia, leaving Wyatt’s supporters in a lurch. Insider sources suggest that while Wyatt was considered, the decision to induct him has been postponed. “It was confirmed to us yesterday that with the exception of Lia Maivia, all members of the 2024 Hall of Fame class have been announced.
egarding rumors of Bray Wyatt, obviously, he was on the list at one point but it’s not planned, or at least wasn’t as of yesterday. The impression I was given is that he will be put in soon.” This revelation has sparked discussions on timing and the criteria for induction, underscoring the complexity of memorializing such a beloved figure.
LA Knight: Reflections on a Rivalry and Friendship
Before his untimely departure, Wyatt’s final feud was with LA Knight, culminating in a Pitch Black match at the 2023 Royal Rumble. This rivalry, continued off-screen at house shows, concluded with their last bout on February 26, 2023. LA Knight shared his thoughts on being Wyatt’s final opponent.
“I don’t really think about it too much just because it’s a weird thing to consider and celebrate, in a weird way. I wish I wasn’t his last match. So, I think that’s really more the way I think about it. At the same time, that was an experience for me where that was an opportunity, and I don’t know that it was looked at as an opportunity in a lot of ways.”
