Could Bray Wyatt be on the verge of a return to WWE? If you believe some fans, the Eater of Worlds had a presence at last night's Money in the Bank premium live event.

For those who missed this year's MITB event, a mystery vignette aired to harken the arrival/return of someone.

Some have taken the spooky nature of this video as teasing the impending WWE return of Bray Wyatt, whilst others have seen the Olympic gold medal and speculated that this vignette could be tied to the debut of Gable Steveson.

In reality, it appears that this video is actually leading to Edge's return to TV after being kicked out of the Judgment Day faction.

While the eagle-eyed amongst you may have already picked up on certain hints of this vignette being for the Rated-R Superstar, Fightful Select has likewise confirmed that the "working plan" right now is indeed for this footage to signal the return of Edge.

In amongst the creepy imagery, said vignette features plentiful nods to the career of the WWE Hall of Famer, with crosses referencing Christian and the Brood, the aforementioned gold medal representing Edge's rivalry with Kurt Angle, and there also being wristbands and glasses that serve as a nod to the legendary battles with the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz.

Edge has been absent from WWE programming since the 6 June episode of Raw. There, after Finn Balor had joined Judgment Day, Balor, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley attacked the 11-time World Champion and banished him from the faction he'd started earlier in the year.
