WWE Bad Blood 2024 will emanate from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday. It will be the last premium live event to be held by the sports entertainment juggernaut in the United States this year.
The event will likely be headlined by Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in a tag team match against The Bloodline. Moreover, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will battle in a Hell in a Cell Match, while Liv Morgan will put her Women's World Championship on the line against Rhea Ripley in a bout where Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage.
Additionally, a WWE Women's Championship match between Nia Jax and Bayley, and Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest is also set for the premium live event.
That said, let's take a look at five possible surprises for WWE Bad Blood.
#5 Finn Balor could bring back The Demon King at Bad Blood
Finn Balor has only appeared as The Demon King in WWE on very special occasions. The last time he used the eerie persona was when he wrestled Edge in a Hell in a Cell Match at WrestleMania 39.
The Judgment Day member teased something massive for his match against Damian Priest on the RAW before Bad Blood. While many fans are speculating that a new Judgment Day member could debut during the match, The Demon King himself may return as a member of the faction.
The last time Balor used that persona, he lost to Edge. Triple H could use this potential return as an opportunity to make the character special again by giving him a win over The Archer of Infamy at Bad Blood.
#4 AJ Lee could return during CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will put an end to their rivalry at Bad Blood in a Hell in a Cell Match. The two stars are currently tied in one-on-one matches, as The Scottish Warrior won in their first encounter at SummerSlam and The Best in the World got payback in a Strap Match at Bash in Berlin.
The match will be brutal, and both guys will likely end up being busted open.
Since their match at Bad Blood will be the biggest one in their feud, it is possible that AJ Lee finally makes her return during it. The former world champion could help her husband win against McIntyre or show up at the end of the match if Punk loses and is left bloodied by The Scottish Warrior.
#3 Raquel Rodriguez could join The Judgment Day at Bad Blood
Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley will go head-to-head for the Women's World Championship, with "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio suspended above the ring in a shark cage at Bad Blood.
Since 'Dirty' Dom will not be in a position to help Morgan, a new star could join The Judgment Day to help the Women's World Champion against The Eradicator.
It may be Raquel Rodriguez, a former tag team partner of Morgan and an old rival of Ripley. The ex-NXT Women's Champion has been off WWE programming due to medical issues for several months and could show up at Bad Blood as Morgan's bodyguard.
#2 Tiffany Stratton could cash in her Money in the Bank contract at Bad Blood
Bayley will finally get a rematch for the WWE Women's Championship as she will collide with Nia Jax at Bad Blood on Saturday.
The Role Model is unlikely to reclaim the title, so either Nia Jax or Tiffany Stratton will walk out with the gold on Saturday night. WWE has teased tension between The Buff Barbie and The Irresistible Force over the past few weeks, so they might pull the trigger on their fallout this weekend.
Stratton may come out to celebrate with Jax after the latter defeats Bayley and then attack her to cash in her Money in the Bank contract.
#1 Zilla Fatu could debut and attack Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
Roman Reigns will return to in-ring action in three days for the first time since WrestleMania XL. The Original Tribal Chief will team up with Cody Rhodes to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline.
The two biggest stars in WWE will not lose to The Bloodline easily unless the group has some shenanigans planned for Bad Blood.
Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa will likely get involved in the match, but Randy Orton and Kevin Owens may deal with them. Even if The Viper and KO do not help Reigns and Rhodes, the two rivals will probably be able to take out the Tongan brothers on their own.
However, Zilla Fatu, the son of late WWE legend Umaga, may show up as The Bloodline's newest member to help Sikoa and Fatu get the victory over The OTC and The American Nightmare.
The Stamford-based promotion recently signed Armando Estrada, the former manager of Umaga, to a Legend's deal, so he may also show up with his ex-client's son as the new Wiseman of The Bloodline.
Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 is less than two months away, so Zilla's arrival may finally lead to the reunion of the original Bloodline ahead of the event.
