Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair, and fan-favorites Bayley,Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano are all set to appear.
Meanwhile, over on WWE Raw, Sami Zayn has been embroiled in a tense rivalry with GUNTHER, and rumors suggest the two could meet in the ring at WWE Bad Blood on October 5. With so much going on, the WWE Universe is in for a wild ride leading into these events.
