View Date:2024-12-23 21:06:49
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.

Hell in a Cell match: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre results
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.
Metro Boomin is in attendance for Bad Blood
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.

Are the Motor City Machine Guns coming to WWE?

The tag team consists of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, who are known for their success with TNA (Total Nonstop Action).
James H. Williams’ Bad Blood 2024 predictions
- Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor: The former tag team partner, as members of the Judgement Day have been at odds and Balor is partly the reason for that. Balor was responsible for ending Priest’s first championship reign at 118 days. I expect Carlito and JD McDonagh to get to help Balor, but will it be enough? Winner: Damian Priest
- Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley: This feud started in 2022 and could come to an end with the championship on the line and Dominik Mysterio hanging above the ring in a shark cage. Liv has managed to get the best of Rhea when it's counted most, but Rhea will look to settle the score with Dominik out of the way. I expect Rhea to be aggressive early on and dominate. Winner: Rhea Ripley.
- Nia Jax vs. Bayley: Bayley has won a championship on seven different occasions during her WWE career but could add another this weekend. Nia Jax has looked strong in her return to WWE and entered the match as champion, but whether she leaves with the championship could be decided on what Tiffany Stratton has planned with her Money in the Bank contract opportunity. Winner: Nia Jax
- CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre: CM Punk has prevented Drew McIntyre from having any true success involving the WWE Championship in recent months. McIntyre has tried his best to get revenge on Punk and often made it personal by mentioning Punk’s family on several occasions. With a potentially bloody battle ahead with these two men locked in a cage, the rubber match will likely decide the feud’s true victor. Winner: Drew McIntyre
- Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu (The Bloodline): Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have headlined the last two WrestleManias as enemies but appear to have a common goal in stopping the latest version of the Bloodline faction. While I think the other members of the Bloodline could factor into the match, I think Kevin Owens' involvement will determine the outcome of the match after not being pleased with Cody as of late. Winner: The Bloodline
Jordan Mendoza’s Bad Blood 2024 predictions
- Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor: Balor took a long back seat while Priest rose to the top. Balor gets his revenge and some momentum with a victory, likely with some help from The Judgement Day. Winner: Finn Balor.
- Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor: Balor took a long back seat while Priest rose to the top. Balor gets his revenge and some momentum with a victory, likely with some help from The Judgement Day. Winner: Finn Balor.
- Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley: The stipulation favors Ripley, but don’t be surprised by any hijinks for Morgan. Still, one of the Terror Twins should come out with a win, and Ripley does it in the next chapter of this rivalry. Winner: Rhea Ripley.
- Nia Jax vs. Bayley: Bayley finally gets her rematch, but Jax is on a real heater and can’t see her dropping the title to the challenger. However, wouldn’t be surprised if we get a Money in the Bank cash-in. Winner: Nia Jax.
- CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre: The best rivalry in WWE finally reaches its end. While you can make the case for either one to win, CM Punk is headed toward having a title match at WrestleMania and winning this feud would be the momentum he needs to get there. Winner: CM Punk.
- Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu): A match that can go off the rails, Reigns completes the next step toward regaining his title as “Tribal Chief.” But after the match, will there be a surprise? Winner: Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.
Why is WWE Bad Blood start time earlier than most premium live events?
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.
WWE Bad Blood history
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.
Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley match stipulation
“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.
AJ Styles update
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.
When are the upcoming WWE events?
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:
Date | Title | Location |
