The Baltimore Ravens’ matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football featured a return that is sure to get the home crowd in Baltimore excited.
One of the Ravens mascots named Poe returned in dramatic fashion on Sunday, coming out in a wheelchair before taking off a fake cast on his leg in an ode to former pro wrestler Kevin Nash to excite the crowd.

The beloved mascot suffered a very real injury in the preseason during a halftime show that featured a football game between the Baltimore Ravens mascots and youth football players.
He was ultimately carted off the field, and the injury was expected to put an end to his season with the Ravens.

While this addition obviously doesn’t help the Ravens on the field, the fans certainly seemed excited to see him again after his scary injury.
“They had the Ravens mascot do the Kevin Nash bit!” tweeted Chris Mueller of 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh.
“Poe coming back is something I should’ve factored into my handicap of this game,” tweeted Big Cat of Barstool Sports.

“It’s incredible how fast ACL rehabs have gotten. Welcome back, Poe!” tweeted Mitch Goldich of Sports Illustrated.

Even though mascots aren’t asked to do as much as athletes on the field, it is pretty incredible that Poe was able to come back so fast considering the severity of an ACL injury.
