Scores will be resolved and grudges will be brought to the forefront at Bad Blood, WWE‘s newest premium live event, which will take place on the morning of Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the State Farm Arena in Georgia, Atlanta.
‘Bad Blood’ perfectly describes the situation surrounding the fallout from The Judgement Day in recent months, which will culminate in two matches at this event as Liv Morgan defends her Women’s World Championship title against Rhea Ripley and Damien Priest faces former friend and colleague Finn Balor.
Scores will be resolved and grudges will be brought to the forefront at Bad Blood, WWE’s newest premium live event, which will take place on the morning of Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the State Farm Arena in Georgia, Atlanta.
‘Bad Blood’ perfectly describes the situation surrounding the fallout from The Judgement Day in recent months, which will culminate in two matches at this event as Liv Morgan defends her Women’s World Championship title against Rhea Ripley and Damien Priest faces former friend and colleague Finn Balor.
“Finn Balor betrayed me and destroyed The Judgement Day,” said Priest, who lost his World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther thanks to Balor’s interference at ‘Bash in Berlin’. “Now it’s my turn to do the destroying!”
Another match in which a continuing feud will reach its climax sees CM Punk take on Drew McIntyre in the ‘Hell in a Cell’. This will see an imposing steel structure surrounding the ring, allowing these two heavyweights to go to even more extreme lengths as they look to end this long-running rivalry once and for all.
“He [Punk] has screwed out of the World title three times in this year,” said the ‘Scottish Warrior’. “I pinned him at SummerSlam, and just because he’s the best at touching four corners in a row [in their ‘Strap Match’ at Bash in Berlin], he’s suddenly done with me, and we’re moving on… I don’t think so, you arrogant pr***.”
Bad Blood will also see an unlikely alliance between long-time enemies Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns as they take on The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu) in a tag team match. Reigns is looking to re-establish himself as the tribal chief over Sikoa, but who knows how his chemistry with ‘The American Nightmare’ will affect this clash?
Bad Blood will also feature Nia Jax defending her WWE Women’s Championship against Bayley—but keep an eye out for ‘Miss Money in the Bank’ Tiffany Stratton, who may well see this event as the perfect time to cash in her contract for a title shot.
