There will be some legends on hand at WWE Bad Blood, including a Hall of Fame tag team.

The WWE Bad Blood PLE will take place later tonight at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. In the main event, Roman Reigns & Cody Rhodes will team up against The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu. Perhaps the most anticipated match will be the Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and Drew MicIntyre.

Atlanta is the hometown of WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and it’s also a city that is deep in wrestling history, especially for fans who grew up on the NWA and specifically World Championship Wrestling.

At WWE SummerSlam in August, Arn Anderson appeared backstage with Cody Rhodes to give him advice before Cody’s WWE Title match against Solo Sikoa. On Twitter/X, Arn revealed he’ll be at WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta as well and he’s bringing his WWE Hall of Fame tag team partner Tully Blanchard.

“Heading to very familiar surroundings for WWE Bad Blood tomorrow in Atlanta. Having Tully there should provide some serious flashbacks, and it will be an honor to walk the halls of the fresh, new WWE. To all my friends who still work there see ya tomorrow!”

More Legends Heading To WWE Bad Blood

It has also been reported by PWInsider Elite (with thanks to Cultaholic) that several WWE Hall of Famers are expected to be at Bad Blood as well. Those names include Rick & Scott Steiner, Madusa, X-Pac, Diamond Dallas Page, Jacquelyn Moore, and Booker T, who is a WWE announcer who often works on WWE Countdown shows.

Future WWE Hall of Famer Mickie James, who is the wife of Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis, is also expected to be at the show.

Former WWE Champion Big E was also mentioned, which isn’t a surprise since he usually works the WWE Countdown and Post-Show for WWE PLEs.

It was reported also that WWE is filming a lot of interview content, which may explain the presence of these stars. It doesn’t necessarily mean they will be on camera. Some of them live in the Georgia area, so it’s an easy commute for them as well.

In addition to all of those names, future WWE Hall of Famer Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was in Georgia on Friday night for a high school football, so it has led to speculation that he could be at WWE Bad Blood too.

You can watch WWE Bad Blood, streaming live on Saturday, October 5, at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else. We’ll have a review here on TJRWrestling as well.
