Drew McIntyre returned from injury tonight after more than a month on the shelf ... and he immediately joined forces with "The Dirtiest Player In the Game."

McIntyre reemerged at the top of the show when Ric Flair revealed that he would team with Randy Orton, King Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Shinsuke Nakamura to take on Hulk Hogan's team of Rusev, Ricochet, Roman Reigns, Ali and Shorty G at Crown Jewel.

Following his introduction, McIntyre cemented his comeback and sent a message to Team Hogan by defeating Ricochet in a one-on-one match. For good measure, the former Intercontinental Champion continued the beat down after the bell by viciously launching Ricochet head first into the steel stairs.

Check out Drew's surprise return in the video below.
