WWE Bad Blood to Have an Earlier Start Time – WWE’s Bad Blood Premium Live Event (PLE) on October 5th at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA, will begin at 6 PM Eastern, marking an earlier start time than usual. This adjustment is intentional, as WWE aims to avoid overlapping with UFC 307, which will broadcast later that evening at 10 PM Eastern from Salt Lake City. This strategic scheduling allows fans to enjoy both events without conflict.
Historical Significance of the Bad Blood Event
The October 5th date carries significant historical weight for WWE. It marks the 27th anniversary of the original Bad Blood event, “WWE In Your House: Badd Blood,” which took place in 1997. This event is particularly notable for introducing the Hell in a Cell structure and debuting the character Kane, who interfered in the inaugural Hell in a Cell match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
Key Moments in Bad Blood History
- 1997: The first Hell in a Cell match, featuring Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker, set the tone for the intense, high-stakes nature of the event.
- June 2003: Bad Blood became the first Raw-exclusive pay-per-view, headlined by a Hell in a Cell match where Triple H defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Kevin Nash, with Mick Foley as the guest referee.
- June 2004: The event featured the conclusion of the storied rivalry between Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a grueling Hell in a Cell match that lasted over 45 minutes.
The Future of Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood
While Hell in a Cell has historically been a central feature of the Bad Blood event, it remains unclear whether this year’s PLE will include a Hell in a Cell match as the main event. WWE established a dedicated Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in 2009, with most of these events occurring in October. Given the event’s history, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation on whether WWE will continue this tradition at the upcoming Bad Blood PLE.
