Let's look at five last-minute twists and surprises that may happen at Bad Blood 2024:


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5. Naomi could turn heel and cost Bayley the title match

For months, Naomi has seemingly been bottling up her frustrations against Bayley, as the latter has become the biggest obstacle in her path to the WWE Women's Championship. However, her frustrations could finally boil over tonight, with The Glow turning her back on her best friend. The Role Model is all set to face Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Championship at Bad Blood.

This seems to be the perfect opportunity for Naomi to get her payback. In a shocking turn of events, she could show up during the title match and cost Bayley the opportunity to win the coveted title. The WWE Women's Championship match could work as the catalyst for The Glow's impending heel turn.

Besides, this could ultimately help Nia Jax retain her title against The Role Model in a shocking fashion, leaving fans stunned.


#4. Raquel Rodriguez may invade the Women's World Championship match

Liv Morgan is set to defend her Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley in a marquee match at Bad Blood. What makes it interesting is that Dominik Mysterio would be suspended high above the ring in a shark cage. Just when Ripley would be on the verge of winning the match, Raquel Rodriguez could make a shocking return and help The Miracle Kid win.

Considering her bitter history and bad blood with Ripley, this sets up a perfect stage for Rodriguez's comeback. There have been rumors about Big Mami Cool's return. Therefore, the 33-year-old could finally make his much-awaited comeback and invade the Women's World Championship match to cost Rhea Ripley.

Besides, there are positive reports about Raquel Rodriguez's rehabilitation, as the latter underwent MCAS treatment this year. Hence, she could return tonight at Bad Blood after months of absence.


#3. Drew McIntyre could be taken away in an ambulance after his match

Drew McIntyre is set to battle CM Punk inside Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood. After an intense feud, this is expected to be the final chapter of this rivalry. With it potentially being the final showdown between the two stars, CM Punk is currently the favorite to win this match. However, the match could see a gruesome finish that might leave fans utterly dumbfounded.

There are chances that The Second City Saint might annihilate Drew McIntyre to such an extent that the latter might have to be escorted in an ambulance following the match. While CM Punk could stand tall in the ring, The Scottish Warrior could be rushed away to a local medical facility with the sirens of the ambulance testifying to the brutality of the Hell in a Cell Match.

Besides, throughout the match, there could be spots, where both stars hurt each other with weapons, leaving a blood-drenched ring for the rest of the PLE. This could provide a perfect culmination of this longstanding rivalry in Atlanta.


#2. Tiffany Stratton could cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase

There has been a lot of tension between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax for the last few weeks. The Irresistible Force has been subjugating The Buff Barbie, which could result in the latter revolting against Jax tonight. Bad Blood could be the place where she might reach her boiling point, leading to a shocking Money in the Bank cash-in on the defending champion.

Tiffany Stratton has been teasing the cash-in for a considerable time. The WWE Women's Championship match at Bad Blood provides The Buff Barbie with the perfect opportunity to finally capture her first title on the main roster. This moment might leave the WWE Universe flabbergasted, as no one could be expecting her cash-in tonight.

Besides, winning the Women's Championship at such an early stage would establish Stratton as a credible main-event star for the future.


#1. The Rock could return at Bad Blood to confront Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns

The Rock is heavily rumored to return at Bad Blood in Atlanta. After dropping a massive tease, The Final Boss might show up tonight during the tag team match between The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu and the unlikely pairing of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Therefore, in the closing moments of the show, he might make a shocking return and storm into the ring to hit The American Nightmare with a Rock Bottom.

This could ultimately set up the stage for a showdown between the two at Crown Jewel. After possibly attacking the Undisputed WWE Champion, The Rock might eventually turn his attention to Reigns with a pure look of disgust due to his cousin teaming up with his bitter rival. Both superstars could have an intense staredown in the middle of the ring before The Great One walks away.

This subtle involvement of The Final Boss could eventually sow the seeds of WrestleMania 41's main event at Bad Blood. The Rock's return will send shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe, electrifying the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
