We’re Live, Pal: The latest on the AEW TV deal, All Out insanity

Posted on by Garrett Gonzales

It’s another episode of We’re Live, Pal, which is also available for free on YouTube below, as Andrew Zarian and I talk about what’s going on in wrestling today.

We kicked off the show talking about eating crow, before digging into the latest on the AEW TV deal.

We discussed all the things that Andrew thinks is happening in the very near future and go over how they could possibly use MAX if streaming on MAX is part of their deal.

We then talked about the insanity that was Hangman Page against Swerve Strickland as the main event of the AEW All Out PPV. We then hit on a few WWE notes such as RAW going back to two hours after October and through the rest of the year, Saturday Night’s Main Event, and the WWE Bad Blood card so far.

Punk vs. McIntyre Hell in a Cell match among WWE Bad Blood announcements

Posted on by Joseph Currier

On the anniversary of the first-ever Hell in a Cell match, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will do battle inside of the structure.

WWE has revealed that Punk and McIntyre will face off in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood on Saturday, October 5. The PLE is being held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. It’s the first time WWE has used the Bad Blood name for an event in two decades.

Punk and McIntyre have been locked into a heated rivalry throughout 2024, even continuing their feud while Punk was out of action with a torn triceps. They have a 1-1 record against each other since Punk returned to the ring. McIntyre won at SummerSlam (with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee), but Punk evened things up by winning a strap match at Bash in Berlin.

After that loss, McIntyre beat down Punk in a blindside attack on Raw last week. Punk was taken out in an ambulance as part of the angle.

Tonight, there was a segment on Raw where general manager Adam Pearce told McIntyre that the issues between him and Punk need to end. Pearce — who said he spoke with Punk earlier today — then announced the Hell in a Cell match for Bad Blood.

Selling last week’s attack, Punk was not on Raw tonight. He’ll return to the show next Monday.

Bad Blood 2024 is happening 27 years to the day since Hell in a Cell debuted with Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker at Badd Blood: In Your House 1997.

Two additional grudge matches, both involving former Judgment Day members out for revenge against the faction, have also been confirmed for Bad Blood:

WWE Bad Blood 2024 (Saturday, October 5) —

  • Hell in a Cell match: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
  • Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defends against Rhea Ripley
  • Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor

WWE Bad Blood to have earlier start time because of UFC 307

Posted on by Ian Carey

October 5 will be a big night for TKO Group Holdings.

UFC 307 is scheduled for that night at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The pay-per-view portion of the show will begin at 10 p.m. Eastern time.

WWE Bad Blood is also scheduled for October 5, 2024. Advertisements for the show have it starting at 6 p.m. Eastern time rather than 7 p.m. According to PWInsider, this is not a typo and the show will start earlier than normal to avoid going directly head-to-head with the UFC show that night.

Bad Blood will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

This will be the fourth-ever WWE Bad Blood and the first in 20 years. It will take place 27 years to the date of the original event, In Your House: Bad Blood, on October 5, 1997. The show was headlined by Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker in the first-ever Hell in a Cell match, which also featured the debut of Taker’s storyline brother, Kane. 

Bad Blood PPVs were also held in 2003 and 2004 with both shows featuring Hell in a Cell matches.







WWE Bad Blood returning this October, location announced

Posted on by Joseph Currier

For the first time in two decades, WWE is bringing back its Bad Blood event.

Bad Blood 2024 is set to be held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Saturday, October 5. The PLE will air live on Peacock/WWE Network with a start time of 7 p.m. Eastern. The official announcement of the event was made in a video WWE produced with Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes and rapper Metro Boomin.

The show is taking place on the 27th anniversary of WWE’s first Bad Blood pay-per-view (In Your House: Badd Blood), which holds a special place in company history for featuring the first-ever Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.

Tickets are going on sale to the general public on Friday, July 19.

“This October, prepare to witness the return of an absolute classic,” Paul “Triple H” Levesque tweeted. “Atlanta… are you ready? #WWEBadBlood”

Bad Blood also took place as a WWE PPV in 2003 and 2004.

After Money in the Bank tonight, SummerSlam (August 3) and Bash in Berlin (August 31) are WWE’s next main roster PLEs. Crown Jewel has also been confirmed for November 2. The company has yet to announce the date for Survivor Series 2024.
