WWE is reportedly bringing back the Bad Blood pay-per-view (PLE) later this year, coinciding with the 27-year anniversary of the inaugural Bad Blood pay-per-view. According to PWInsider, WWE officials have been discussing potential venues for the return of Bad Blood, and it is speculated that the company could hold the PLE on October 5, the exact anniversary.
Officials are considering holding Bad Blood in the Atlanta market, and the State Farm Arena in Atlanta does not have any events scheduled for October 5. WWE has not announced any TV tapings for that week as of now. Two Hell in a Cell matches were held at the original Bad Blood pay-per-view, and the company has not yet revealed who will compete in the match for the return of Bad Blood.
WWE has four UK dates scheduled for the week after October 5 and will hold the Crown Jewel PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 2. The Money in the Bank PLE is scheduled for July 6 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On tonight’s RAW episode, it was announced that Seth Rollins will challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank.
The qualifying bouts for the men’s and women’s MITB Ladder Matches are taking place on RAW and SmackDown over the next few weeks. Tonight’s RAW episode featured Jey Uso vs. Finn Balor vs. Rey Mysterio, plus Kiana James vs. IYO SKY vs. Zelina Vega.
