Drew McIntyre ‘Banged Up’ Coming Out Of Brutal Bad Blood Match

Drew McIntyre was understandably banged up after his brutal Hell In A Cell match at tonight’s Bad Blood PPV from Atlanta Georgia.

One of the spots in the grueling match featured Punk bashing McIntyre with the metal toolbox that the Scottish Psychopath himself had introduced in the bout.

Drew was legitimately busted open from this spot and according to PWinsider, the former World Champion required as many as 16 staples to close the wound after the show.

The site says McIntyre was ‘banged up’ coming out of the PLE but they didn’t confirm if he suffered any other injuries besides the obvious one tonight.

What Happened At Bad Blood

Things didn’t turn out as Drew McIntyre would have hoped at the PPV. The ending of the brutal match saw Punk wrapping a chain around his thigh and following it up with a GTS on his opponent for the win.

The year-long feud between the arch-rivals is believed to be over after tonight’s PPV. It’s unknown what the Triple H regime has in store for either of these stars after the Hell In A Cell match.

While the future of Punk and McIntyre is in question, there are some other major storylines that have been teased at and after tonight’s show.

Apart from an appearance of Goldberg in a segment featuring the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, the show also saw the electrifying return of the Rock. If all this wasn’t enough, WWE also pulled the plug on a long-teased heel turn, after the Bad Blood broadcast was over. You can check out more about it here.

Watch: What Happened With Cody Rhodes After Bad Blood 2024 Went Off Air

Cody Rhodes just made Triple H and Nick Khan’s job harder by adding another name to the list of potential cities in line to host a WrestleMania.

The Undisputed WWE Champion picked up a big win in the main event of tonight’s Bad Blood PPV from State Farm Arena in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. With some help from a returning Jimmy Uso, the team of Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated The Bloodline.

The original Tribal Chief and his cousin left the ring after the PPV went off the air but as always, Cody stayed around to greet the fans. Before that, he cut a promo about his hometown and advocated for the city to get a bigger event after they set a new record for WWE in Atlanta:

“You heard the statistics about how many people, you heard that we set a business record for WWE. We did that here. We did that in Atlanta. I don’t know anything, I’m not a manager or anything like that, but I would wager that after a night like tonight, somehow something even bigger than Bad Blood comes to Atlanta.”

Cody Rhodes also talked about growing up in the area and said that people would never know how much it means to him that a cocky kid from the South holds the biggest prize in the business.

Not everything worked out in favor of the American Nightmare tonight, however. Apart from the electrifying return of an old rival, Cody also had to suffer betrayal at the hands of a longtime friend after Bad Blood.

Triple H: The Rock Can Do What He Wants, We’re Grateful to Have Him

In the closing moments of WWE Bad Blood 2024, The Rock returned to WWE, fulfilling a promise to come for Cody Rhodes made on the post-WrestleMania 40 episode of Raw. As a leading man in Hollywood with multiple business ventures to his name, The Rock’s WWE appearances are few and far between, but when can fans next expect to see The Final Boss?

On the WWE Bad Blood 2024 post-show press conference, WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque was asked about The Rock and his potential future appearances.

“The Rock’s The Rock, and he’s going to be able to do, whether we were on the air, off the air, still rolling cameras, not rolling cameras, he kinda does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. That’s the cool thing about being the Final Boss, I think. He’s The Rock; he can do what he wants to do.”

Levesque also shared his gratitude to The Rock for making time for WWE within his busy schedule and for remembering where his media dominance first began.

“With everything he’s got going on in his career and his life, to never have looked away from what brought him to the dance [is admirable.] Any time that we’re at a place where he can take 30 seconds out of his incredible schedule to come back and feel that electricity that you can only get in WWE, he does it and I’m thrilled for that and thankful to him for that.”

There are expectations that The Rock will be featured in the run-up to WrestleMania 41, as plans are reportedly in place for the Final Boss to compete next April. In the meantime, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for The Final Boss as his issues with Cody Rhodes are clearly far from over.

Triple H Addresses Black Representation On WWE PLEs

Triple H made clear that he doesn’t look at talent by race nor gender when booking main event matches for WWE.

Paul Levesque fielded questions in the WWE Bad Blood post-show press conference and was asked about WWE not having black male wrestlers not being in a main event program since 2023 or black talent not appearing on the card at WWE Bad Blood. WWE’s Chief Content Officer gave the media perspective on how he lays out a PLE card.

“I don’t see the difference in anybody. I don’t see the color, I don’t see the nationality, I don’t see any of it, I see talent. I don’t see the difference between men and women. I see talent. We tell stories with those talent, how they can handle those stories and how they can represent those stories and how we can bring those stories forward so I don’t keep track of any of that. I do what’s relevant and what is best and the best in storytelling and what’s being delivered the best and then that’s what goes … whatever the biggest stories are, that’s where we go.”

While no black talent were on the card for WWE Bad Blood, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair and Naomi all played hosts to the PLE festivities as WWE kicked off a five-match show in Atlanta. A great deal of WWE’s lack of black representation came to light after Swerve Strickland made comments about WWE, stating how he believed company officials didn’t like to see black talent get paid big money.

Kevin Owens Snaps, Attacks Cody Rhodes In Parking Lot After WWE Bad Blood

WWE Bad Blood 2024 went off the air with Cody Rhodes standing tall, but the Undisputed WWE Champion was left reeling after the PLE. In the main event, Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu, thanks to an assist from the returning Jimmy Uso. In the closing moments of the show, The Rock returned and stared down Reigns, Rhodes, and Uso from the entrance ramp.

In fan-recorded footage from Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, Rhodes and Owens can be seen having heated words before Owens strikes the Undisputed WWE Champion. Not finished, the Prizefighter pummelled Rhodes outside the latter’s tour bus before security intervened.

Tensions had been growing between Rhodes and Owens for weeks on WWE SmackDown, with the Canadian taking issue with Rhodes’ willingness to team with Roman Reigns. Owens has his own painful history with Reigns, including defeats to the Original Tribal Chief at the Royal Rumble in both 2021 and 2023.

Owens challenged Rhodes for the gold at WWE Bash in Berlin, and much was said about their friendship and Owens’ lack of championship gold as of late in the run-up to their showdown in Germany. With Owens betraying his former friend, Rhodes now has another adversary to deal with on SmackDown. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the fallout of this attack.

The Rock Speaks On Instagram After WWE Bad Blood

The Rock was full of “mana” after making a surprise appearance to close out WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta and ‘The People’s Champion’ spoke after the PLE.

Dwayne Johnson went live on his Instagram after shocking Atlanta by walking out to stare down Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns after the two got a victory against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

The Rock was strutting his stuff backstage at WWE but did note the following:

““The final boss is feeling a lot of things and there’s a bunch of s*** that’s been going on in the past six months.”

Johnson was also walking past production trucks and more while he saw plenty of familiar faces plastered on said trucks. The first one he took note of was Steve Austin, noting that he’d want to enjoy a tequila and beer with the ‘Texas Rattlesnake.’ He then also saw a picture of John Cena and made the Fruity Pebbles reference after seeing a picture of Dusty Rhodes. The Rock had some quick words for the late ‘The American Dream.’

“I love you, I hate your son.”

The Rock began jamming to ZZ Top as he walked to his vehicle and drove off. Johnson was last seen on WWE programming on the WWE Raw after WrestleMania where he and Cody Rhodes “traded” titles before The Rock handed Cody something and whispered something to him.

Johnson wasn’t the only one to make a return at Bad Blood. Jimmy Uso made a surprise return in an effort to help Reigns and Rhodes secure the win against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

The Rock Returns In Electifying Climax Of WWE Bad Blood 2024

WWE Bad Blood 2024 went off the air in electrifying fashion with the return of The Rock inside the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. In the main event of the show, Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns defeated The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu thanks to an assist from the returning Jimmy Uso. After the match, the Bloodline assaulted Rhodes, prompting Jimmy and Reigns to come to the aid of their unlikely ally.

The trio of Rhodes, Reigns, and Uso were able to fend off The Bloodline, with Sikoa, Fatu, Tonga, and Loa escaping through the crowd. It was at this point that The Rock made his return and stared down the three men in the ring.

Rumors of The Rock’s return at Bad Blood had circulated after Pat McAfee spoke of ‘The Big Guy’ returning during an episode of his show with Cody Rhodes. The Rock had teased coming for Rhodes during the post-WrestleMania 40 edition of RAW. Now that The Rock’s back, it remains to be seen what role he’ll play in The Bloodline and their issues with Rhodes, Reigns, and now, Jimmy Uso.

Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on The Rock after his stunning return at WWE Bad Blood 2024.

Raquel Rodriguez Returns, Aids The Judgment Day At WWE Bad Blood 2024

Rhea Ripley’s efforts to finally get retribution on Liv Morgan went up in flames at WWE Bad Blood 2024, courtesy of the returning Raquel Rodriguez.

In the penultimate match of the night, Ripley challenged WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. With Dominik Mysterio confined to a shark cage suspended in the air, Ripley dominated Morgan and it appeared that a new champion would be crowned at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Things went from bad to worse for ‘Dirty Dom’ as his efforts to aid Morgan resulted in him dangling by his foot from the floor of his cage. Taking a break from Liv, Ripley delivered some painful kendo stick shots to Dominik before Rodriguez attacked Ripley. This attack resulted in Ripley winning by disqualification, meaning that Liv Morgan is still the Women’s World Champion.

Rodriguez had been out of action since February and has been battling Mast Cell Activation Syndrome this year. MCAS is a condition in which the patient experiences repeated episodes of the symptoms of anaphylaxis, such as allergies. These episodes may include hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and severe diarrhea.

Rodriguez has a history with Liv Morgan and the pair are former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. It remains to be seen if Rodriguez will be officially brought in as the Judgment Day’s newest member, but her intervention at Bad Blood certainly proved fortunate for Liv Morgan and her reign as WWE Women’s World Champion.  

List Of Legends At WWE Bad Blood

WWE had a huge list of legends in attendance for Bad Blood and the likes of such had its fair share of ties to Atlanta, GA.

The company started off the PLE by showing that Goldberg was in attendance with his son Gage who nearly got physical with GUNTHER after the WWE World Heavyweight Champion called ‘Da Man’ out later on in the show.

However, there was a quite the plethora of names taking in the action. In addition to Goldberg, Bad Blood also featured several WCW luminaries including Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Diamond Dallas Page, Booker T, Scott Steiner and Syxx aka Sean Waltman.

https://twitter.com/BWAChief/status/1842708667130376270

Other names also in the crowd were Jacqueline Moore, Lillian Garcia and Mickie James.

Arn Anderson may have gotten the biggest pop out of all the legends and for good reason. ‘The Enforcer’ shocked the fans at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland when he so happened to share a few words of wisdom for Cody Rhodes before he went out for his WWE Undisputed Title defense against Solo Sikoa. Arn’s attendance at Bad Blood constitutes as a full circle moment as Cody Rhodes will be tagging up with Roman Reigns to face Solo once again. However, this time Sikoa has Jacob Fatu as his tag team partner.

WWE legends weren’t the only dignitaries in town. Hip-hop artists Killer Mike, Metro Boomin’ and Lil Baby were also seen sitting at ringside. Killer Mike was sitting beside Goldberg to start off the show who seems to be good friends with the WWE Hall of Famer.

Damian Priest Pays Homage To Scott Hall At WWE Bad Blood

Damian Priest was a “Lone Wolf” at WWE Bad Blood, but he persevered like his hero Scott Hall against Finn Balor.

The deck was stacked against Priest as he took it to his nemesis in a singles fight that was third on the card at Bad Blood, as Carlito and JD McDonagh interfered but Damian channeled ‘The Bad Guy’ both visually and physically in the ring to pick up the win.

Priest sauntered out in Atlanta decked out in homage to ‘The Outsider’ as Priest’s jacket had the signature blood drips that Hall wore in his NWO days alongside Kevin Nash. Priest also had blood dripping down his pants as well as his boots, but he also was sure to honor Hall with in-ring arsenal. Priest hit a Razor’s Edge on Balor not just on the canvas, but on the apron in an effort to defeat his former friend.

Priest ultimately fended off the likes of McDonagh, Carlito and Finn’s Coup de Grace to hit a South of Heaven and get the 1-2-3, perhaps ending the two’s feud which would allow Priest to move on to a fresh set of opponents.

Both Priest and CM Punk paid their respective tribute to notorioius Kliq members at WWE Bad Blood. Punk actually had Shawn Michaels-themed trunks complete with HBK’s Bad Blood color scheme and signature “broken heart” logo. The WWE stars who wear Kliq-themed attire ended up undefeated in Atlanta as Punk also defeated Drew McIntyre in his Hell in A Cell match earlier in the evening.

WWE Crown Jewel Championship Announced, Champions To Battle in Riyadh

WWE Crown Jewel 2024 will see the crowning of two new champions, with some of WWE’s very top names set to do battle next month in Riyadh.

During WWE Bad Blood 2024, WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque revealed the WWE Crown Jewel Championship to the audience in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. The Game explained that at WWE Crown Jewel, the WWE Champion and World Champion of both the men’s and women’s divisions will face off. While neither champion’s title will be on the line, the winner of each match will win the WWE Crown Jewel Championship.

Currently, the men’s match for Crown Jewel will see Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes take on World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER. On next week’s RAW, however, GUNTHER will defend against Sami Zayn in a match that could change the complexion of WWE Crown Jewel 2024.

For the women, WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan will take on WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Like the men’s match though, this could change, as Morgan is set to defend her title against Rhea Ripley at Bad Blood 2024. Similarly, Tiffany Stratton has teased cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Jax, despite the ‘friendship’ between the two.

WWE Crown Jewel 2024 will take place on November 2, from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and will be WWE’s 12th PLE in Saudi Arabia. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from WWE Crown Jewel and the new WWE Crown Jewel Championship.

CM Punk Pays Tribute To Shawn Michaels At WWE Bad Blood

CM Punk followed in the footsteps of Shawn Michaels at WWE Bad Blood in more ways than one as ‘The Second City Saint’ tipped the cap to HBK.

Just like Shawn Michaels did at the very first Bad Blood, CM Punk got the win against his adversary in Drew McIntyre in a Hell In A Cell match. The match was brutal and bloody as Punk and McIntyre fought tooth and nail to get the better of one another, but it was Punk who came up on top after he wrapped his knee with a chain to execute a devastating GTS to pick up the 1-2-3.

Punk’s victory comes 27 years to the day since Shawn Michaels defeated The Undertaker in the very first Hell In A Cell and that wasn’t lost on the victor. Punk came out in his usual style of attire but with a bit of a twist.

Michaels happened to wear black and silver longboys for his battle against ‘The Deadman’ and Punk followed suit with his signature Chicago starred trunks with the same color scheme. However, one of those stars was replaced with an HBK heart in a subtle tribute to the current operator of WWE NXT.

Since his return to WWE, Punk has formed a friendship with Michaels as he happens to pay visit down in NXT on the regular. His most recent visit happened in a big way as he was the special guest refereee for the main event match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams. Punk’s appearance occured in Chicago and it went down on the very first episode of NXT on The CW.

Goldberg Confronts GUNTHER At WWE Bad Blood

The stars and pro wrestling legends were sure out for WWE Bad Blood and it included “Da Man” Bill Goldberg.

Bad Blood kicked off with CM Punk squaring off against Drew McIntyre in a Hell In A Cell but there was a good deal of pomp and circumstance beforehand. Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair kicked off the festivities before the show was swung to Michael Cole and Corey Graves on commentary. The duo made sure to mention that Atlanta was the place to be this evening as they made note of some dignitaries at ringside. That’s when WWE showed that Goldberg was sitting ringside. Goldberg gave a smile as he was shown on camera.

Goldberg was sandwiched in between his son Gage and hip-hop artist Killer Mike who Goldberg showed some friendly affection for. Goldberg’s recent relationship with WWE hasn’t been ultimate as he was very vocal about how Vince McMahon had did him dirty, promising him a retirement match he never received.

Goldberg’s appearance is only several weeks removed from Bret Hart’s appearance on WWE Raw in Calgary. It was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER who mocked ‘Hitman’ by saying that Goldberg was his preferred wrestler over the ‘Excellence of Execution.’

Leave it to GUNTHER to spoil the party as Triple H later came out to announce a Crown Jewel Champion as it will be ‘Champion vs. Champion’ at the next Saudi Arabia PLE. GUNTHER was swift to try and disparage Goldberg despite his initial praise on RAW, calling him a “one trick pony” and having questionable parenting abilities. That got Goldberg out of his seat as he got in the ring to square off against GUNTHER, but Sami Zayn came out to attack his upcoming opponent. After the chaos, Triple H raised the hand of Goldberg as ‘Da Man’s’ music played. Goldberg also said to the camera “You’re next, boy,” teasing a potential feud with the champ.

As mentioned Goldberg has quite the history in Atlanta. He played for the Atlanta Falcons back in the early 1990s before making the transition to wrestling where he notoriously won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Hulk Hogan in the Georgia Dome back in 1998.

Other legends in attendance for WWE Bad Blood are The Brainbusters in Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.

Drew McIntyre: ‘The Hatred Dies’ At WWE Bad Blood

Despite both personal and professional stresses, Drew McIntyre is ready for his ten month feud with CM Punk to culminate tonight at WWE Bad Blood.

McIntyre has been embroiled in the biggest angle of his wrestling career clashing with CM Punk, who notoriously has been out with an injury for the majority of the feud. However, the win-loss stands at 1-1 with the rubber match taking place in a Hell In A Cell at Bad Blood Saturday evening.

Before the show, McIntyre filmed himself sitting in his car down in Atlanta, making note that he planned to make chaos this weekend on social media, but life had other plans.

Sadly, McIntyre’s brother John announced the unfortunate passing of their aunt, noting on social media that she stepped up for the family when Drew and John’s mother passed away.

Drew didn’t mention the news during the video, but focused on the angle itself, noting that he is ready to put the near-year feud to bed. He also acknowledged his appreciation for fans making the case that the battle should main event the PLE.

“All that matters is this match happens, this match ends, this thing ends tonight. The hatred dies. Making promises. All I can promise is it’s not going to be a classic. It’s not going to be ‘cinema.’ It’s gonna be brutal. It’s going to shorten our careers, there will be mutually assured destruction and there will be blood. I apologize in advance for what people will see tonight.”

We at SEScoops would like to offer our deepest condolences and prayer to Drew McInytre, his aunt and his family at this time.

AJ Styles Injury: Update Following SmackDown Scare

Fans may have had quite the pause after it appeared AJ Styles may have gotten injured during his return match against Carmelo Hayes.

Styles returned to WWE SmackDown after being away for months and he got thrown right into the fire with a singles fight against the upstart Carmelo. However, the match got stopped early when Styles seemingly injured his ankle after an awkward landing. Styles crawled underneath the rope to be checked on by a doctor and the match was called. This allowed LA Knight to hit Hayes with his BFT finisher. Styles was helped to the back and it was later shown that “The Phenomenal One” was taken to a hospital.

If one were to go back and watch the footage, it would appear that Styles’ injury could indeed be legitimate and not an angle, but fear not. According to Fightful Select, AJ Styles injury is all apart of an angle and the former WWE Champion is just fine.

Styles’ persona is taken a new turn as he was the full-fledged heel in his previous feud against WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes. Styles went out in a memorable way in an “I Quit” match at Clash At The Castle when he was handcuffed to the corner and found himself between the turnbuckle and the steel stairs wielded by the “American Nightmare.” However, on SmackDown AJ said that he regretted his actions earlier this year and plans to make up for his past transgressions, aiming to rebuild his legacy.

Eric Bischoff Claims AEW Shockwave Will Not Land on FOX

Eric Bischoff, the former WWE executive and wrestling industry veteran, has recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of AEW’s rumored new show “Shockwave” airing on FOX. Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff expressed strong skepticism about the likelihood of such a deal.

Bischoff’s Stance on AEW and FOX

Bischoff didn’t mince words when addressing the rumors, stating emphatically that AEW landing on FOX’s broadcast network is “a fantasy.”

He pointed out the significant disparity between SmackDown’s viewership on FOX and AEW’s current ratings for shows like Rampage and Collision:

“Does anybody in their right f*cking mind think that FOX Network is going to go, ‘Well, we couldn’t make SmackDown work with two and a half million viewers. But man, that Rampage or that Collision show, hmm! And this new one they’re coming out with, let’s do that.’ I understand why Swerve did it. He got excited, he’s emotional. He’s doing what he should do. But that was a bad take. I don’t see it, no. And to think that it could happen is a reflection of lack of information and knowledge, aka ignorance.”

Criticism of Swerve Strickland’s Comments

The discussion was sparked by recent comments from AEW wrestler Swerve Strickland. While Bischoff acknowledged Strickland’s enthusiasm for promoting his company, he criticized the wrestler’s suggestion that FOX might replace SmackDown with an AEW product

Viewership Comparisons

Bischoff highlighted the stark contrast in viewership numbers:

  • SmackDown on FOX: Approximately 2.3-2.5 million viewers per week
  • AEW Rampage and Collision: Around 300,000-400,000 viewers per week

He argued that it would be illogical for FOX to replace a show drawing over 2 million viewers with one that struggles to reach even a quarter of that audience.
