After the upcoming Bash in Berlin, WWE will host Bad Blood 2024 as part of its premium live event schedule. For those unaware, Bad Blood will return to WWE on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Fans are already anticipating big matches for this PLE, especially since Triple H is expected to book it in a great way. In this article, we will discuss four early predictions for WWE Bad Blood 2024.


#4. CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre could be part of this card

Despite Drew McIntyre emerging victorious at SummerSlam, the rivalry between CM Punk and Drew is far from over. This was evident from the RAW episode following SummerSlam, where the Scottish Warrior once again provoked Punk, teasing the continuation of their feud.

This ongoing tension indicates that their rivalry is far from over, sparking the possibility of a match between these two at State Farm Arena.

Additionally, reports have surfaced stating that a match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre is expected to take place at Bad Blood, with both stars competing in a grueling Hell in a Cell match. However, it's important to note that, back in June, the Best in the World denied the proposition of a HIAC match against Drew. But it appears that things have changed now.


#3. A rematch of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan

The revenge tour of Liv Morgan faced a storm in the form of Rhea Ripley, but the Women's World Champion was able to defeat her at SummerSlam, thanks to a betrayal from Dominik Mysterio. However, on the recent RAW, Rhea aided Damian Priest, and together, they destroyed the new Judgment Day, which included Liv Morgan.

This indicates that Ripley and Morgan's rivalry is still unfinished on the red brand, sparking the chances of another match between these two at Bad Blood 2024.


#2. Finn Balor and Damian Priest could settle their rivalry at Bad Blood 2024

Finn Balor betrayed Damian Priest at SummerSlam, paving the way for Gunther to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The Archer of Infamy has now turned into an official babyface star on RAW and is expected to clash with Finn Balor soon. Bad Blood 2024 seems to be the perfect stage to settle their rivalry.

The name of the PLE, Bad Blood, perfectly encapsulates the animosity between Balor and Priest, which has been simmering since last year’s SummerSlam when Priest attempted to cash in during Balor's title match. This longstanding tension makes their anticipated showdown at Bad Blood 2024 all the more compelling.


#1. Roman Reigns could return to the squared circle against the Bloodline at Bad Blood 2024

Roman Reigns made his thunderous return at SummerSlam 2024 but has yet to make his squared circle comeback. Upon his return, the Original Tribal Chief initiated his war against Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline by attacking the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief.

With Bash in Berlin merely three weeks away, it's unlikely that WWE will book Reigns for a match at this PLE.

If this scenario materializes, then Bad Blood 2024 will be the event where the OTC makes his in-ring return. The former Universal Champion could clash against a member of the Bloodline, which could be either Jacob Fatu or Solo Sikoa.

If the Samoan Werewolf has no serious injury and is cleared to compete, a match between Roman and Jacob could be a great choice. This would allow WWE to stretch out the storyline and build anticipation for a future Solo vs. Reigns match.
