WWE’s Bad Blood premium live event on Saturday is aptly named. The card features several major grudge matches built up for months. Two matches will draw significant attention: CM Punk meeting Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell and Roman Reigns returning to action to team with Cody Rhodes against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of the Bloodline.
Punk and McIntyre’s issues have seen them feuding for months, with things getting increasingly violent. It only made sense that their problems would finally land them inside one of WWE’s most infamous matches. Here’s a detailed WWE Bad Blood 2024 Predictions for each encounter:
Sami Zayn vs. Bron Breakker (Intercontinental Championship)
This match sees the experienced and beloved Sami Zayn defending his Intercontinental Championship against the powerhouse Bron Breakker. Zayn’s underdog story has been a crowd favorite, and he’s thrived as a crafty veteran. His tactical in-ring psychology contrasts sharply with Bron Breakker’s brute force and explosive athleticism.
Coming off his dominant NXT Championship reign, Bron Breaker has transitioned seamlessly to the main roster. His power moves and spear have been devastating against many opponents. However, Zayn’s resilience and intelligence in using the crowd’s energy often give him an edge in high-pressure situations.
Winner Prediction: Sami Zayn retains.
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
The Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match always delivers a thrilling spectacle, showcasing top-tier athleticism and creative use of ladders. The field may include elite superstars like Becky Lynch, IYO SKY, Raquel Rodriguez, and Rhea Ripley, all vying for the prized briefcase that grants a guaranteed title opportunity.
IYO SKY’s agility and fearlessness in high-risk situations make her a standout in this chaotic environment. She’s previously shown a penchant for excelling in multi-woman matches, where her aerial attacks and technical prowess shine. Becky Lynch brings experience and grit, but she has already been in this spot several times, which could lead to a fresh face winning.
Winner Prediction: IYO SKY.
The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and Jacob Fatu) vs. Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens
The ongoing Bloodline saga remains one of WWE’s most compelling storylines. Roman Reigns reigns as the dominant Tribal Chief alongside his unpredictable cousin, Solo Sikoa, and newcomer Jacob Fatu. Their chemistry as a destructive faction has terrorized WWE for years. However, cracks in the group’s foundation began to show at past events.
On the other side, the Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens team is a formidable collection of talent and experience. Still, on his mission to “finish the story” and become world champion, Cody Rhodes has unfinished business with The Bloodline. At the same time, Randy Orton’s return after a long injury layoff adds intrigue. Orton is one of WWE’s most decorated veterans, and his ability to strike at the right moment will be pivotal.
Kevin Owens, a former Universal Champion and one of the most versatile wrestlers in WWE, will round out the team, bringing intensity and unpredictability. This match could be a brutal war of attrition, with plenty of shocking moments.
Winner Prediction: Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens.
WWE Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
This matchup pits Liv Morgan, the current champion, against the dominant Rhea Ripley. Both women have contrasting styles: Liv relies on her agility and underdog mentality, while Rhea brings sheer power and aggression. Ripley has been unstoppable, but Liv’s recent championship run has showcased her ability to find victory even when the odds are stacked against her.
The Raw women’s division lacks a clear next contender, which might be why Liv retains the title. The feud between Ripley and Morgan has been escalating for months, and it’s likely WWE will continue to drag this rivalry out, keeping fans invested in the storyline. Even if Ripley comes close to dethroning Morgan, external factors—like Dominik Mysterio being locked in a shark tank—may prevent her from securing the win.
Winner Prediction: Liv Morgan retains.
WWE Women’s Championship: Nia Jax (c) vs. Bayley
Nia Jax defends her title against the tenacious Bayley in what promises to be a hard-hitting contest. Jax’s size and power give her a natural advantage, but Bayley’s experience and tactical abilities make her a credible challenger. This match comes just months after Jax dethroned Bayley at WrestleMania, a moment that shocked fans.
Under Paul Levesque’s creative direction, WWE has moved away from rapidly switching titles and focused more on sustained championship reigns. Jax’s title run is still relatively new. With the ongoing dynamic between Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton building intrigue, WWE will likely prioritize keeping the belt on Jax for now. Bayley’s reign before WrestleMania wasn’t particularly memorable, so a title change here would seem premature.
Winner Prediction: Nia Jax retains.
Damian Priest vs. Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight Championship)
Seth Rollins, arguably WWE’s most consistent performer over the past year, will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest. Rollins, known for his show-stealing matches and in-ring creativity, will be in for a tough fight as he faces one of the most dominant forces in WWE today.
Damian Priest, fresh off a significant push with his Judgment Day faction, has evolved into a credible main-event player. His strength, size, and agility make him a dangerous opponent for anyone, and his victory at the 2023 Money in the Bank event elevated his status. However, Rollins has faced and beaten superstars of all styles and sizes, and his tactical versatility makes him a difficult champion to dethrone.
Winner Prediction: Seth Rollins retains
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
The Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match is always a highlight, and this year’s field includes heavy hitters like LA Knight, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and others. LA Knight has been a fan favorite for months, with his unique blend of charisma and in-ring skills making him a standout. Drew McIntyre, a former WWE Champion, is always a top contender, and his ability to deliver in big matches is well-documented.
However, Logan Paul has proven that he’s not just a celebrity attraction—he’s capable of putting on highly athletic performances in the ring. That said, Paul’s limited experience could be a disadvantage compared to veterans like McIntyre and Knight, who have been grinding on the main roster for years.
Winner Prediction: LA Knight
