WWE is reportedly considering reviving the Bad Blood (originally known as Badd Blood) pay-per-view event for an upcoming premium live event (PLE). The Bad Blood theme, which first emerged during the Attitude Era, was last used in 2004.
The event is best remembered for iconic matches such as The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels in the first ever Hell in a Cell match in 1997, Triple H vs. Kevin Nash in a Hell in a Cell match with Mick Foley as the special guest referee, and Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels in another Hell in a Cell main event.
According to PWInsider, there have been creative pitches within WWE to bring back the Bad Blood name for a PLE this October. The timing is significant as it marks the anniversary of the first-ever Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, which also featured the debut of the Kane character.
Interestingly, October 5th falls on a Saturday, making it a fitting date for WWE to host the themed show on Peacock, coinciding exactly with the anniversary of the first ever Hell in a Cell match (Taker vs. HBK) at Badd Blood: In Your House.
Here is the current WWE PLE schedule:
Saturday, June 15, 2024: Clash at the Castle at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland
Saturday, July 6, 2024: Money in the Bank at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Sunday, July 7, 2024: NXT Heatwave at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Saturday, August 3, 2024: SummerSlam at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, OH
Saturday, August 31, 2024: Bash in Berlin at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany
Saturday, November 2, 2024: Crown Jewel in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025: WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium
The potential return of Bad Blood could add an exciting twist to WWE’s fall schedule, bringing a nostalgic element to the current lineup of events. Fans will be eager to see if WWE officially announces the revival and how they plan to commemorate the legacy of Hell in a Cell matches with this classic pay-per-view.
