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.
