After the Firefly Funhouse sketches ended a few weeks ago, we had to wait patiently and keep a close eye out for various puppet cameos.

But Monday, Bray Wyatt returned in person, appearing out of the darkness to drop Finn Balor with a Sister Abigail – while wearing his Fiend mask. Throw in the lighting and this was a creepy re-debut for Wyatt – which is exactly what WWE had to want.

It will be interesting to see how Bray’s character translates over time, whether he transitions between his Mr. Rogers-esque persona and Fiend, or just remains as the dark character.

Still, this was as good of a return as we could get.
