It’s time to settle some bad blood.
After 20 years since the last edition, WWE brings back Bad Blood premium live event and it's the perfect title for what will have several feuds either entering a new chapter or culminating on Saturday night.
Highlighting the night are two of the top feuds of 2024: CM Punk and Drew McIntyre meeting in a Hell in a Cell match, and Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns putting their differences aside to go up against the new version of The Bloodline. Also on the schedule is The Judgment Day going up against the Terror Twins in two matches, and a rematch will take place for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Follow USA TODAY Sports for all the action for Bad Blood 2024:
Drew McIntyre enters the ring first before his match with CM Punk. CM Punk has also made his way to the ring and the cage door has been locked.
McIntyre was aggressive to start the match with several strikes before throwing him out of the ring. CM Punk managed to reverse McIntyre’s attack and brought out a table and chair from under the ring.
Record producer and songwriter Metro Boomin appeared at the start of Bad Blood arriving with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. He was also seen in a photo with Triple H on social media. WWE is using Metro Boomin and Future's song "GTA" as the theme song for Bad Blood.
Bad Blood 2024 is Saturday, Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. ET.
WWE is having a Bad Blood preshow right now on YouTube and X (formally Twitter).
The WWE's Bad Blood 2024 is taking place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The event can be streamed on Peacock, but you must have a premium or premium-plus subscription to watch. Internationally, it will be available on WWE Network.
Matches not in order
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will serve as the hosts of Bad Blood.
All signs point to the Moto City Machine Guns tag team coming to WWE soon. A "coming soon" vignette aired on SmackDown last night, indicating a new arrival.
The tag team consists of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, who are known for their success with TNA (Total Nonstop Action).
Bad Blood's start time is earlier than usual for a WWE premium live event because of the UFC 307 PPV later tonight, according to Fightful Select.
The WWE and UFC are both owned by TKO Group Holdings.
Saturday will be the fourth Bad Blood event but the first since 2004.
The event first took place in 1997 with Badd Blood: In Your House, where the first-ever Hell in a Cell match took place. The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels battled it out in the inaugural Hell in a Cell match in St. Louis.
Bad Blood returned in 2003 in Houston and took place in Columbus, Ohio the following year before it went on a 20-year hiatus. Saturday will mark the 27th anniversary of the first BadBlood.
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio will be back behind bars when the Women’s World Championship match takes place.
With Mysterio providing assistance to Morgan ever since he turned on Ripley, he won’t have any chance to interfere this time around.
During the bout, Mysterio will be raised above the ring in a shark cage. He will only be able to look down and watch the action.
Veteran wrestler AJ Styles made his return to SmackDown last night in Tennessee but was apparently injured during a match against Carmelo Hayes. WWE's Jackie Redmond provides an update on Styles.
There will be plenty of follow up to tonight’s action on the weekly episodes of RAW and SmackDown but WWE will also have some of its bigger shows coming up. Here's the latest schedule:
