Bray has been kept off TV since September this year when Matt Hardy took time off to rehab from his injury and effectively broke this team of the former Raw Tag Team Champions.
Prior to yesterday, Bray Wyatt last wrestled at the Starrcade event on November 24th last month which took place in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had faced Baron Corbin at that event as well.
It’s worth mentioning that Starrcade was a special event while last night’s show was just a regular live event so Wyatt’s return at the event is more interesting.
Considering Vince McMahon’s recent announcement of freshening things up on WWE programming it’s possible that the company may be planning an on-screen return for the Wyatt Family leader for the coming weeks.
So it’s possible that this Live Event return might be a preparation for the former Champion’s on-screen comeback.
Though it might still be a one-off deal like Starrcade and we’ll have to see if he wrestles on more shows after this event to know if the company is actually planning to bring him back on TV.
