It’s not often nowadays that WWE introduces a new type of match, but it does happen from time to time as fans saw recently with the Iron Survivor Challenge in NXT.
It’s been rumored that a new match type called the Pitch Black match would be debuting at the Royal Rumble, and WWE seemingly confirmed the match today. The match is a tie in with Mountain Dew’s Pitch Black flavor that is set to return in January. There’s currently no word on what the rules will be, but the tagline for the match is “Anything can happen.” WWE released the following video advertising the Pitch Black match for the Royal Rumble:
