WWE Bad Blood 2024: Live updates, results, grades and analysis

Women's World Championship – Liv Morgan (c.) vs. Rhea Ripley – Dominik Mysterio is suspended in a shark cage above the ring as we see the latest chapter in the rivalry between Morgan and Ripley. Ripley and Damian Priest defeated Morgan and Mysterio at the last PLE, Bash in Berlin, and should be eliminated from Bad Blood like they did at the Women's World Championship, especially given the condition. A clean win for Ripley puts her back at the top of the Raw women's division and sets Judgment Day in turmoil, but doesn't necessarily end the story between these two. Prediction: Rhea Ripley wins the Women's World Cup.

WWE Women's Championship – Nia Jax (c.) vs. Bayley – WWE has been teasing Tiffany Stratton about cashing in on her Money in the Bank contract with Nia Jax since she won the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam. Bayley is able to effectively set Jax up for defeat, Stratton saves Jax from the pin by taking advantage of Bayley and reversing the roles she and Jax are currently playing. In this scenario, all three women are heavily booked and it sets Stratton up for an outstanding championship run. Prediction: Tiffany Stratton benefits from defeating Bayley and Nia Jax to win the WWE Women's Championship.

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre Hell in a Cell – The final showdown between these two continues the tradition of having a Hell in a Cell match at every Bad Blood event. A McIntyre win here catapults him into the world heavyweight championship conversation, which I think makes a little more sense than Punk coming out on top here. Punk is such a big star and excellent speaker that he doesn't have to be a champion or fight for a championship to be a big draw. Prediction: Drew McIntyre defeats CM Punk.

Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu – Rhodes and Reigns are the two biggest names on SmackDown and in WWE as a whole, but their alliance is tenuous at best. Look for this match to showcase the unease between the current and former champions while continuing to build the Sikoa version of The Bloodline into an unstoppable force. More than anything, this feels like a pit stop on the way to the war games. Prediction: Sikoa and Fatu defeat Rhodes and Reigns.

Damian Priest vs Finn Balor – Similar to the Ripley Morgan match, I think we need to see Judgment Day fall into disarray after Bad Blood, meaning Balor should take the loss to Priest here. Unlike the game between Ripley and Morgan, I think this definitely ends the men's side of the Judgment Day-Terror Twins story with a clean conclusion. Raw will be better off with another great challenger to Gunther, and I believe Priest is closer than Balor at this point. Prediction: Priest defeats Balor.
