After being away most of the year due to injury, Kalisto returned to WWE on tonight’s episode of SmackDown.

He made an appearance during a Gran Metalik vs. Shinsuke Nakamura match which took place tonight. Kalisto helped Lince Dorado take care of Cesaro with a tornado DDT.  This allowed Metalik to hit Nakamura with a springboard elbow for the win.

The announcers mentioned that Kalisto had been out of action for some time following a separated shoulder. Kalisto last wrestled back in December, when he and Gran Metalik lost a tag match to The Revival at a WWE house show in Los Angeles, California.

Since Kalisto’s injury, the Lucha House Party has remained a team and have competed for the SmackDown Tag Team titles on several occasions throughout the year.

The trio, originally part of Raw, were moved to SmackDown as part of the WWE Draft that took place in October of last year.
