Other Bad Blood

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Looks like WWE is bringing back Bad Blood for Raw. Im pretty stoked on that, I was actually at the very last Bad Blood in 2004.

WWE Set To Bring Back Classic Raw Exclusive Pay-Per-View


"Ever since the WWE Draft took place in the summer of 2016, the original pay-per-view events that WWE presented as a sole brand have been split between both Raw and SmackDown.

With SmackDown being given Elimination Chamber and Money in the Bank, it seems that Raw needs to step up, which is why according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, WWE will be bringing back Bad Blood as a Raw exclusive pay-per-view event.

Bad Blood has only been presented by WWE three times before in 1997, 2003 and 2004 all as part of the red brand and it is the event where the Hell in a Cell match was first introduced and used as the main event for all three shows.


According to the report, the event is set to return on 07/09/2017 at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. This could be an important event for Raw in their build up to SummerSlam, especially since SmackDown will be presenting Money in the Bank at around the same time, so the ratings war will be reaching its peak.

Bad Blood was always one of the biggest grudge ending events of its era and it gave Raw the edge over SmackDown much of the time, if it is able to keep the same kind of aura around it, then this will be a fantastic nostalgic move by WWE."

This. Going old school every once in a while would be nice. Like, I love it when RAW goes old school once a year.

Also, if RAW's going to bring back Bad Blood as its exclusive PPV, then are they going to have a HIAC match ME the show?

I wouldn't be surprised if it did, considering previous PPVs have had a HIAC match close the show... If not, then I guess a match with some hardcore stipulation would end up closing it, in case HIAC PPV is still going to be a thing in October.

Yeah this is what i was wondering too. if they have HIAC, a ppv named after the match, surely they'll need something else for Bad Blood. Maybe a new gimmick match like Ambrose Asylum? Or falls count anywhere matches all night.

or ditch gimmick PPVs as much as they can?

A first blood match? That way the match has blood...but it ends when it appears...

Oh...I know...Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar...First Blood Match...

 

[Prince Bálor]

And now there's a rumor floating around that Bad Blood may not be returning. Fine by me whether it returns or not.

 

[Solid Snake]

I did not see that coming... haha It was pretty good.

Now, some may ask whether or not Bad Blood is returning, I'm asking if the second D in Bad is coming back
