The upcoming WWE premium live event, Bad Blood, is just one week away and features several exciting matches. Currently, five bouts are scheduled for WWE Bad Blood on October 5, 2024.
The women’s division has two major bouts lined up. WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax is set to defend her title against the winner of Bayley vs. Naomi, which will be determined this Friday on SmackDown. On RAW, Women’s World Heavyweight Champion Liv Morgan will put her title on the line against Rhea Ripley, with Dominik Mysterio locked inside a shark cage that will hang above the ring.
The men’s division is packed with three major matches. Finn Balor of The Judgment Day takes on Damian Priest in a grudge match. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are set to finally settle their long-standing rivalry inside Hell in a Cell. In a surprising twist, WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes will team up with Roman Reigns to face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline.
As Bad Blood approaches in just one week, two major feuds are fueling fan excitement. This has sparked debate over which match will headline the show in Atlanta, Georgia. Moreover, recent reports have revealed WWE’s current main event plans for the event.
What match will headline WWE Bad Blood?
Recent reports from Fightful Select have outlined WWE’s current plans for Bad Blood. When Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns filmed their vignette and promo at Georgia Tech, the promotion intended for their match to serve as the event’s main event.
Both wrestlers share strong connections to Atlanta. Reigns played football at Georgia Tech, while Rhodes comes from nearby Marietta, Georgia. However, many fans argue that CM Punk and Drew McIntyre should headline the show. With just one week to go until the show, plans may still change, but as of last week, WWE aimed for the tag team match to close out Bad Blood.
