In a shocking turn of events, Ron Killings made his return at tonight's WWE Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. He attacked John Cena during the main event of the show, helping Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeat the villains.
Shortly after the unexpected return, ex-WWE star The Blue Meanie revealed he was also once brought back after major fan backlash. Here's what the 52-year-old wrote on X:
"I was released by WWF in 99 and was immediately brought back after a "Save The Meanie" was started by the "Strictly ECW" crew. Russo told me they inundated their email system and flooded the call banks. JR called me and said, "There's been a reprieve from the warden."

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
