Bray Wyatt left a poor WWE cameraman lying on his back on SmackDown after a sudden attack.
The former world champion showed more of The Fiend still bubbling inside him than he has at any point since his sensational comeback at Extreme Rules in October.
Wyatt came down to the ring to address his issues with LA Knight, initially insisting he has tried to present the ‘real’ version of himself, although he isn’t sure if there actually is one.
He then demanded an apology from the arrogant star for assuming he and Uncle Howdy are the same person.
Just last week, the sinister and cryptic man appeared on the stage, laughing at Knight while Wyatt was with him in the ring, providing a brilliant twist as the former NXT star – and the fans – realised they are two separate entities.
Wyatt lost his train of thought and suddenly attacked the cameraman, launching devastating assault which led to the Mandible Claw and left the crew member on his back.

Officials including Petey Williams and Adam Pearce put a stop to the attack, and fans were left reeling from seeing the star’s aggressive side.
It’s the most physical he’s got since returning in October, having headbutted LA Knight and shoved a backstage crew member before, but never got quite so violent.
It was a fantastic moment to move the story along by showing Wyatt’s descent without giving too much away, while it does show viewers that the character isn’t stuck in a holding pattern.
What remains unclear is whether a reveal for Uncle Howdy is coming along with other rumoured characters – such as Uncle Harper – and how they will play into Wyatt’s latest arc.
There is also mounting speculation about when Wyatt will actually wrestle for the first time since his comeback, with a match against Knight at the Royal Rumble seeming the best option without dragging things out too long.
WWE SmackDown airs Friday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
