Bray Wyatt made his surprise in-ring return during Monday's WWE Madison Square Garden live event.

Despite making his way back onto WWE programming in October, finally arriving at the end of the Extreme Rules PLE, Wyatt is still yet to make his televised return to in-ring competition.

However, the former WWE and Universal Champion did ultimately get the chance to get rid of some ring rust earlier this week when he suddenly popped up during the company's Madison Square Garden live event on Monday.

With Jinder Mahal cutting a promo in the ring about being unhappy that he was overlooked for the night's Intercontinental Championship ladder match (via PWInsider), the one-time WWE Champion laid down a challenge to anyone in the back.

Sure enough, Wyatt's music burst through the speakers to a huge pop and the star made short work of Mahal, nailing him with a Sister Abigail for the win.

Understandably excited fans in attendance were able to catch a few of moments from Wyatt's return to in-ring action on Twitter, too.

This bout marked Wyatt's first WWE match since losing to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37, with the one-time Fiend eventually being released from the company a few months on from that disappointing showing.

Wyatt is also currently locked into a storyline on SmackDown with L.A. Knight, a feud that could be leading to the pair settling their differences in the first-ever "Pitch Black" match at the upcoming Royal Rumble event.
