WWE Bad Blood 2024 full card and predictions
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (Hell in a Cell)
Patrick: I am absolutely jacked for this match. Punk vs. Drew is easy feud of the year for me at this point, and it’s not even close. Even though he won at Bash in Berlin too, I think Punk needs to come away with the victory here as well. It will vindicate Punk and send Drew even further off the deep end, giving extra heat to his next endeavor.
Winner: CM Punk
Shane: I can’t wait to see Hell in a Cell return to its original glory! I can’t tell you the last time I’ve been this excited for a Cell match in WWE, maybe since Edge/Undertaker at SummerSlam ’08? Anyways, I’m very much looking forward to these two guys beating the absolute hell out of each other. Pun intended. I honestly don’t care who wins either but for the sake of predictions…
Winner: CM Punk
Damian Priest vs. Finn Bálor
Patrick: My heart says Finn, as I want nothing more than for Bálor to be taken seriously as a main event-caliber talent again. But sadly, I don’t think that’s in the cards for this iteration of The Judgment Day.
Winner: Damian Priest
Shane: I completely agree with Patrick. As much as I would love a Finn victory, WWE will continue to solidify Damian’s babyface turn with a win Saturday night. I do feel that the heat on this match has really died down though so I’m not sure how impactful a win will actually be, regardless of who actually gets the pin here.
Winner: Damian Priest
Nia Jax (c) vs. Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship
Patrick: Things have been boiling over between Nia Jax and Miss Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton as of late, so I think it may be Tiffy Time at Bad Blood. I don’t quite know where Bayley goes from here, but it seems like she’ll be dealing with a slow-burn heel turn in the form of Naomi soon enough.
Winner: Tiffany Stratton via Money in the Bank cash-in
Shane: The WWE Women’s Championship has all but lost all the momentum it had leading into and out of WrestleMania. I would like to see Nia continue her reign just to see if WWE can get some of that missing momentum behind it. I could see a Money in the Bank cash-in happening to spice some things up a bit, but I’m going to hold out for a Nia victory instead.
Winner: Nia Jax
Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship (“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio suspended above the ring in a shark cage)
Patrick: I don’t know how she’s gonna do it, but I think Liv needs to come away with the victory here. Her taking control of The Judgment Day and “Daddy” Dom has been too good to cut short now – I see Liv vs. Rhea simmering all the way until WrestleMania.
Winner: Liv Morgan
Shane: I think I’m going to side with Liv Morgan here. I really do think that Liv was going to be the one to take the Women’s World Championship off of Rhea Ripley before Rhea went down with an injury. And I just don’t see how putting the title back on Rhea will do the championship any good – Rhea legitimately feels to be too big a star for the championship. Keeping it on Liv and letting her feud with other members of the Raw roster, like IYO, feels like a better choice than putting the belt back on Mami at this moment in time.
Winner: Liv Morgan
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu
Patrick: Betting against The American Nightmare is a fool’s errand. Betting against The Big Dog is just plain dumb. Solo and Jacob are going to get what’s coming to ‘em, and cracks in this Temu Bloodline will begin to show.
Winners: Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns
Shane: I will eat my shorts if Roman loses his first match back since WrestleMania. Oh, and Cody is there too. Yeah…
Winners: Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
