If you’re anything like gravity, you forgot about Neville during his lengthy absence from WWE. He was last seen on the March 14 episode of Monday Night Raw, where he fractured his ankle during a match with Chris Jericho.
Well, he’s back now.
Indeed, the English high flyer made his return at tonight’s (July 12, 2016) SmackDown taping in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The taping is ongoing as of this writing, so it’s possible he’ll be used on the television broadcast, but as of now he worked a dark match against Bo Dallas.
He won with the Red Arrow:

Also, he kept the beard!
It’s been rumored for a while now that Neville would be back any day now, especially after appearing at the last NXT Takeover special and giving an interview where he outright said he would be back soon. His timing couldn’t be better, as he’s back just in time for the WWE draft.
