After months of numerous teasers, Bray Wyatt returned to the realm he once ruled over by making his first appearance in over a year in the closing moments of the 2022 WWE Extreme Rules. Here's what happened at Saturday night's event in Philadelphia.

WWE 2022 Extreme Rules Results

This year's pay-per-view was headlined by the return of Bray Wyatt, a former WWE and two-time universal champion.

His return came after a Fight Pit match between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins that notably featured UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier as the special guest referee.

Wyatt made his return to WWE about 19 months after being released on July 31, 2021.

WWE closed out Extreme Rules with Wyatt's ominous and theatrical comeback, which elicited a huge response from those in attendance at the Wells Fargo Center.

Cormier raised Riddle's hand in victory while walking up the ramp just before the arena lights cut out.

Fireflies then filled the arena as fans turned on the flashlights from their phones, before the familiar tune of, "He's got the whole world in his hands" rang throughout the Wells Fargo Center.

Wyatt's various puppet pals emerged one by one in different pockets of the arena as full-sized humans in costumes as the suspense built.

A creepy video montage was followed by a close-up of an ominous door as the Philadelphia crowd shouted, "Holy shit!"

The man believed to be Wyatt, wearing a brand new mask, walked through the smoke-filled door with his trademark lantern.

Wyatt then stripped off the mask, revealing his face and confirming his return to the excitement of fans in the arena. He blew out the lantern and the screen went black with a new logo flashing on the screen.
