Following a commercial advertising a Pitch Black match for next month’s WWE Royal Rumble, the company has officially announced the first-ever match.
As PWMania.com previously reported, a Pitch Black match had been pitched for the show and was being seriously considered, with one source in the company believing it was for Bray Wyatt.
WWE aired advertisements on Monday morning, showing footage of the arena going dark before a signature saying “When It’s The Pitch Black Match,” and later promoting it as “Anything Can Happen.”
A man walking with a bright light shining behind him was also briefly shown in the video. Fans are speculating the man appearing is Edge. WWE has discussed having “Demon” Finn Balor and “Brood” Edge compete in a Hell in a Cell match.
