There are strong indications that WWE is considering resurrecting the Bad Blood pay-per-view event for an upcoming special presentation.

Originally introduced during the Attitude Era, Bad Blood gained prominence and was notably revived in 2003 and 2004, featuring iconic Hell in a Cell matches involving top WWE superstars like Triple H, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley.

Recent reports from PWInsider.com suggest that creative pitches have been made to revive the Bad Blood name, possibly aligning with an October slot. This timing would commemorate the anniversary of the first-ever Hell in a Cell match in WWE history, which took place on October 5, 1997, between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, a bout that also saw the chilling debut of the Kane character.

Moreover, October 5, 2024, falls on a Saturday, making it a fitting date for WWE’s potential themed event, especially considering WWE’s partnership with Peacock for streaming.
