As noted earlier this week, JBL and the Blue Meanie met backstage before the Smackdown tapings on Monday night. Word is that they agreed to put things in the past and to go in the ring and do business. Many WWE performers feel JBL was very professional and didn't take advantage of Meanie in the match at all.

The bWo is being brought back as an experiment due to the reaction they got at the One Night Stand PPV. They plan to make a go of it with the characters, and if they succeed, great, if not, it's just another experiment. The Blue Meanie has signed a 'short term" deal through the summer, and will be at the Smackdown tapings next week, and could be signed to a full deal.
