Championship Match Not Planned For WWE Bad Blood

On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, the company started to announce matches for the upcoming Bad Blood Premium Live Event, which will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA.

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre inside the Hell in a Cell structure is slated to headline the show. The other two bouts confirmed for it include Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defending against Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor. Although not confirmed, it’s believed Sami Zayn will challenge GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Title.

WWE has already confirmed that Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will make his next title defense against Solo Sikoa on Friday’s episode of SmackDown. This match was originally believed to be on the PLE card, but another match that also won’t be on the card.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Bron Breakker vs. Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Title was not planned for Bad Blood after Uso won the tournament and became the new #1 contender.

Meltzer: “That match is not on the pay-per-view.”

Bryan Alvarez: “What? All that for a TV match?”

Meltzer: “It’s gonna be a TV match. I don’t know which week…but not on the pay-per-view. You only have five match pay-per-views and we’ve got Gunther and Sami, we’ve got Cody Rhodes, which will be announced on Friday whatever they do, and we’ve got Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan, and we’ve got Damian Priest & Finn Balor, and Punk & Drew.”
