Bray Wyatt's in-ring return captivated the Scotiabank Arena with one of the more unique moments in recent WWE memory.
Coming out to the ring as The Fiend, Wyatt didn't just come out with a new mask, but he came out to a distorted version of his old theme song and even carried a lantern in the form of his face. Then, came his SummerSlam match against Finn Balor.

In what was a fairly short match, Wyatt pinned an unconscious Balor with the Mandible Claw. Below is David Tees' description of the match from Fightful's live coverage of SummerSlam which can be seen at this link:
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor
The match begins with Wyatt dropping Balor with a headbutt, Wyatt then drops Balor with a running headbutt to the upper body. Wyatt traps Balor in the corner while landing a bunch of strikes, Balor fights fight and Wyatt drops him with a clothesline to the back of the neck. Wyatt then attempts to break the neck of Balor before landing a uranage, Wyatt goes for Sister Abigail and Balor fights back by landing a sling blade followed by a shotgun drop kick. Balor then drops Wyatt before landing a double stomp, Balor then hits another shotgun drop kick before going to the top rope. Wyatt catches Balor in the mandible claw for a three count.
Winner: "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
