WWE is back on PPV this weekend with a fun match full of rivalries. Evil Blood lands in Atlanta with 5 featured costumes on Saturday night.
The PPV has been dormant for two decades, but returns after a series of deeply private disputes. Some of the top draws will see the expected end to the feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre when they meet at Hell in a Cellular. Plus, Roman Reigns teams up with his old rival Cody Rhodes to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
Elsewhere on the card, the ongoing feud between Women’s International Champion Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley creates a new bust as the two face off. They’ve been at every alternative’s neck since Dominik Mysterio dumped Ripley for Morgan in an epic betrayal at SummerSlam. Mysterio won’t be able to help Morgan this hour, however, as he’ll be locked in a shark tank.
Along with that feud is the ongoing feud between Damian Priest and his former stablemate Finn Balor. Priest, along with Ripley, were thought to be the leaders of The Understanding Speed for an hour before Mysterio and Balor faced the two at SummerSlam. Balor valued Priest as the heavyweight name in the business and Priest has been out for revenge ever since, usually losing the numbers game to the bold Understanding Speed and his five members. Now, Priest and Balor will face off and Understanding Speed is likely to happen by hook or by crook.
Take a look below at the outfits shown for WWE SummerSlam and peek into the crystal ball of what could be coming. The development airs live to tell Peacock’s story on October 5, with the main card set at 8 p.m. ET.
WWE 2024 Evil Blood Suits
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (Hell in a Cellular): McIntyre got his SummerSlam adjustment and Punk responded with his strap adjustment at Bash in Berlin. Clearly, the issues between the two were about committing to continue and it was only days before McIntyre unleashed an attack that sent Punk off the field in an ambulance. Consequently, Adam Pearce announced that McIntyre and Punk would meet at Hell in a Cellular for what could be the end of the story.
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. The Bloodline (Only Sikoa and Jacob Fatu): Rhodes and Reigns were stiff competition for more than a season, headlining WrestleMania 39 and WrestleMania 40 each time. They will now be paired together in Reigns’ first match since losing his international titles to Rhodes in April. Their separate issues with the Sikoa-led version of The Bloodline led to a nervous alliance and compatible team-up with Sikoa and Fatu in Evil Blood.
International Women’s Championship – Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley: Ripley has been seeking revenge against Morgan ever since Morgan hurt her in the past. That trauma forced Ripley to give up the name, allowing Morgan to take it back not long after. Since then, Morgan has distanced Dominik Mysterio and all of Judgment Pace from Ripley’s future and has also executed sneak attacks and then sneak attacks. Ripley will still get another chance against Morgan in a singles match in Evil Blood, although it’s almost a simple task where she’ll fight members of Judgment Pace other than Morgan.
Damian Priest against Finn Bálor: Like Ripley, Priest has been seeking revenge against the people of Judgment Pace who attacked him. The main focal point for Priest has been getting his hands on Balor. After all, he’ll get that chance in Evil Blood, but Balor has already warned Priest not to ignore the “Judgment Day playbook,” which almost always refers to outside interference.
WWE Women’s Championship – Nia Jax (c) vs. Bayley: The feud between Jax and Bayley has held up perfectly at SummerSlam. Bayley defeated her friend Naomi in a Disagreement. 1 of the contender on the September 27 episode of SmackDown. Bayley’s victory earned her a rematch with Jax at Evil Blood.
