Several WWE Legends Set For Bad Blood, Grudge Match To Open Show

What will open the show at WWE Bad Blood?

On October 5th, WWE will hold the first show under the Bad Blood banner since 2004. However, the PLE will forever be remembered for its inaugural outing in 1997 which featured the first-ever Hell In A Cell match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker. The end of the match famously saw the debut of Kane.

Returning to 2024, it’s been reported that Roman Reigns & Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu will headline the show. This is despite a Hell In A Cell match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre being booked for the event.

In a new update from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, it’s been revealed that the match between Punk and McIntyre will open the show.

Furthermore, several legends and Hall of Famers will also be in town during the weekend for photo sessions. Johnson notes that Diamond Dallas Page and The Steiners will be involved, while he’s also heard talk of appearances from Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Madusa, and Jacqueline Moore. It’s unclear whether the veterans will appear on-screen.

WWE Bad Blood – Final Card

• CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre – Hell In A Cell
• Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley – Women’s World Championship (Dominik Mysterio will be trapped in a shark cage above the ring)
• Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor
• Nia Jax (c) vs. TBC – Women’s Title
• Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu

There had been speculation a World Heavyweight Title match between Gunther and Sami Zayn would be added to the card, but the match has since been confirmed for Raw.
