52-year-old star says WWE "immediately" brought him back after fan backlash, similar to R-Truth's return at Money in the Bank 2025

A former WWE Superstar says he was also brought back following fan backlash, much like R-Truth at Money in the Bank 2025. The Blue Meanie put up a post on X shortly after Truth's return, sharing the interesting tidbit.

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."

The WWE Universe is beyond happy over R-Truth's surprise return at Money in the Bank 2025. According to a report shared by PWInsider, the decision to bring R-Truth back was made within the past 72 hours, leading up to Money in the Bank. It seems like the outrage over Truth's release did wonders, and the beloved veteran is back on WWE TV.
