It took Rhodes giving him a callback top-rope splash through the announce table to finally keep him down. Rhodes saluted Reigns to tell him, \u201cYou take it from here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the new Bloodline came to the ring with Sikoa in trouble. Sikoa grabbed Reigns and yelled at him, \u201cYou lied to me! You told me I was next in line!\u201d as another figure with a mask appeared outside the ring between Toma Tonga and Tonga Loa.<\/p>\n<p>It was a returning Jimmy Uso, who was taken out by the new Bloodline in storyline. He opened the door for Reigns to catch Sikoa off guard and spear him for the win. The hug between Uso and Roman drew a big pop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Rock makes an earth-shattering return and stares down Roman Reigns: Bad Blood 2024 highlights\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zVu62s81dAA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>A little bit after a nod of appreciation to Rhodes, Uso had to coax Reigns to return to the ring to help the \u201cAmerican Nightmare\u201d, who was getting pummelled by the Bloodline. Reigns picked up the Undisputed WWE championship and slowly handed it back to Rhodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was then The Rock\u2019s music hit for the first time since April. He stood alone with the Bloodline retreating to the stands. He didn\u2019t say a word. We got a raised eyebrow, his fingers in the air going 1-2-3 and a slit of the throat.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes <span class=\"credit\">WWE<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It feels like he is either signaling Reigns, Rhodes and Uso as targets or making reference to pinning Rhodes at WrestleMania and Reigns getting pinned 1-2-3 by Rhodes there. In the Finals Boss\u2019 mind, he might be the rightful next person to face Rhodes and not Reigns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steeling the Show<\/h2>\n<p>CM Punk and Drew McIntyre gave their trilogy a proper ending with an excellent, bloody and hard-hitting Hell in Cell match that will go down among the best. <\/p>\n<p>It had the one wild spot of McIntyre suplexing Punk from the apron in tight quarters through a table on the outside. Both men were bloodied at different points, Punk with shots from a wrench and McIntyre with a blow from a toolbox.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were plenty of weapons used, and mostly with a purpose. Punk did damage to McIntyre\u2019s back, including dropping him on a flipped-over table with the legs torn off. The wrenches, however, kept popping up. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GRAPHIC: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre \u2013 Hell in a Cell Match: Bad Blood 2024 highlights\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WOBsIFZn1gA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>McIntyre hesitated using one midway through the match and missed on a Claymore. He later used a wrench to break the Anaconda Vice. Punk was willing to smash a pleading McIntyre with a wrench at the end, but the Scottish Warrior countered with a low blow.<\/p>\n<p>That is where McIntyre\u2019s hubris and desire to humiliate Punk \u2013 which has cost him throughout this feud \u2013 did so again. McIntyre, instead of thumbtacks, dropped friendship bracelet beads on his opponent\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>CM Punk threatens to hit Drew McIntyre with a wrench. <span class=\"credit\">WWE<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He would miss the Claymore attempt and smash his already injured lower back into the ring steps in the middle of the squared circle. Punk took advantage, wrapped a chain on his knee to the GTS for the third time in the match and pinned McIntyre to finally end this feud.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Punk collapsed on his way to the back to sell the brutality of it all while being attended to by medical personnel. Is World Heavyweight champion Gunther next?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ripped Away<\/h2>\n<p>The crowd in Atlanta was ready for Rhea Ripley to get her full revenge on Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio. They were moving toward that crescendo with Ripley beating Mysterio like a pinata as he hung from the shark cage by his chained ankle.<\/p>\n<p>It was at that moment Raquel Rodriguez returned after months away with a storyline injury inflicted by Ripley to attack Mami and cause the match to be a DQ and have Morgan \u2013 her former tag team partner retain the Women\u2019s World championship. <\/p>\n<p>The crowd booed the finish and not getting a clean winner and not Rodriguez, as was probably intended. That could change going forward, but the decision backfired on WWE for one night as we likely have to endure potentially months more of this story before the real payoff.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Raquel Rodriguez returns to ambush Rhea Ripley: Bad Blood 2024 highlights\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LXknVYoZ20M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Everything leading up to the questionable finish was good. Mysterio \u2013 who got a fun Low Rider entrance with Morgan \u2014\u00a0played into his panic of being raised in the cage while being afraid of heights. Morgan went right after Ripley\u2019s knee, the injury that was at the center of the story leading up to the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Morgan attempted a Three Amigos suplex, but Ripley countered the third one. Ripley went to the top rope and paid homage to Eddie Guerrero in her own way and Jey Uso before a frog splash, but Mysterio got the cage door open somehow and Morgan kicked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Morgan and Ripley fought to\u00a0the floor as the challenger delivered a Riptide as Mysterio watched. Mysterio fell over the edge trying to check on Morgan. Ripley, after taking Morgan back to the ring, pulled a kendo stick from under the ring to beat Mysterio. It set the questionable finish in motion.<\/p>\n<p>WWE likely want to keep the title on Morgan, but she needs some muscle to make it believable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Raquel Rodriguez returned to attack Rhea Ripley. <span class=\"credit\">WWE<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was part of a so-so night for Judgment Day-related matches. Damian Priest and Finn Balor turned in a match that probably would have been better suited for Raw. There was nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either.<\/p>\n<p>Priest controlled the match early and often with plenty of heavy offense. Predictably, things turned when The Judgement Day\u2019s JD McDonagh, Carlito and Mysterio got involved. It gave Balor the opening for a Coup de Grace, but Priest kicked out. Eventually, Balor went for another top rope move and Priest caught him for a South of Heaven to win.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Queen Still Reigns<\/h2>\n<p>The end script remained the same after Bayley and Jax went out of their comfort zones. That was especially so for Jax, who dished out numerous counters \u2013 including a hurricanrana reversal. There was a fun spot where Jax was down outside the ring and Bayley couldn\u2019t drag her back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bayley had the match won with a Rose Plant, but the ref was out after Jax accidentally fell\u00a0on her. Tiffany Stratton would come charging out with her Money in the Bank Briefcase and knocked Bayley down. Just as Stratton was about to officially cash in, Jax did an Undertaker-like sit-up and argued with her friend in the corner over her near betrayal.<\/p>\n<p>Bayley took advantage and applied a rollup on Jax. She kicked out and Bayley looked to go back to the top rope. Stattron threw the briefcase at her to distract her. Jax jumped up and delivered an Avalanche Samoan Drop and then pulled Bayley over to hit an Annihilator to retain the WWE Women\u2019s championship.<\/p>\n<p>Jax, the Queen of the Ring, has been referred to as Queen a lot lately. Could a returning Charlotte Flair be next?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Added Bonuses\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>WWE did a VIP area in one of the suites where the hosts Bianca Beliar, Jade Cargill and Naomi were throwing a party for WWE stars, legends and artist Metro Boomin, which they cut to twice. I\u2019d much rather see a sixth match, though I thought taking time to introduce around a dozen WWE Hall of Famer ringside was a cool use of them.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Goldberg jumps the barricade to confront Gunther: Bad Blood 2024 highlights\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SwcM9ZnpYgo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>It appears WWE laid the groundwork for a potential Gunther vs. Goldberg match as the World Heavyweight champion came out and started throwing insults at the Hall of Famer and former Atlanta Falcon, who was sitting ringside with his family.

This reeks of WWE creating more new awards to give out at Saudi shows \u2013 such as the Greatest Royal Rumble belt and the Best in the World Cup \u2014 to make them feel prestigious. The booking for this should be interesting to say the least.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biggest Winner:<\/strong> CM Punk<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biggest Loser:<\/strong> Finn Balor\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Match: <\/strong>CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grade:<\/strong> B+<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/10\/06\/sports\/wwe-bad-blood-review-grade-rocks-return-hell-in-a-cell-lift-up-show\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rock is back and he doesn\u2019t appear happy with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes \u2013 with a simple hand gesture signaling his feelings.\u00a0 The massive return ended and lifted &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=111081\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=111081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=111081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=111081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=111081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
