Punk and McIntyre’s points have seen them feuding for months, with issues getting more and more violent. It solely made sense that their points would lastly land them inside certainly one of WWE’s most notorious matches.
As for Reigns, he has been out of motion since shedding the undisputed WWE championship to Rhodes at WrestleMania. In Reigns’ absence, Sikoa has taken management of the Bloodline and reworked the group right into a pack of untamed canines. Reigns lastly made his return in latest weeks, attacking Sikoa and his Bloodline, resulting in a tense team-up with Rhodes.
Elsewhere on the cardboard, the continued rivalry between girls’s world champion Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley provides a brand new chapter when the 2 sq. off. They’ve been at one another’s throats since Dominik Mysterio left Ripley for Morgan in an epic betrayal at SummerSlam.

WWE Unhealthy Blood 2024 predictions
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (Hell in a Cell): Each males have promised vital ranges of violence — and blood — on this one. McIntyre gained their first assembly and Punk gained the second. It actually comes all the way down to who “wants” the win extra. Punk is a legend and will most likely come out of issues effective if he would not win the general feud, however his return to WWE was such a giant deal after which he was shelved by harm rapidly, it solely is smart for him to come back out the victor in his first main storyline. Hopefully, each males can ship a match that matches the extent of anticipation followers have for it and keep wholesome within the course of. Decide: CM Punk wins — Brent Brookhouse (additionally Shakiel Mahjouri)
Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu: Beating WWE’s two greatest stars of the final 5 years is precisely what the brand new Bloodline want heading into Survivor Collection. There’s sufficient going towards Reigns and Rhodes that you may give their foes the nod on Saturday. The WrestleMania rivals have an uneasy alliance towards a workforce with higher chemistry. Reigns may also lean on ring rust, competing for the primary time in six months. It is vital that Fatu and Sikoa are positioned strongly forward of a hypothesized Bloodline vs. Bloodline battle on the finish of November. Give the brand new blood the nod. Decide: Sikoa & Fatu win — Mahjouri
Whereas I can definitely see the logic in having the brand new Bloodline win, Reigns returning to the ring for the primary time since shedding the title to Rhodes at WrestleMania definitely appears to tilt issues in his workforce’s course. The story of Sikoa’s Bloodline is not certainly one of domination a lot as it’s of a brand new, out-of-control nature that’s going to finally trigger instability. Dropping in these moments — particularly if it is Sikoa who takes the pin — furthers the storyline and offers Reigns his massive comeback second. Decide: Rhodes & Reigns win — Brookhouse
Ladies’s World Championship — Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley: That is the hardest name on the cardboard and actually this might go both manner. Uncooked has a giant downside within the girls’s locker room. Who is able to problem the winner of this feud? Just because it seems like the reply to that query in the intervening time is “no person,” it makes me suppose Morgan retains to pull out the problems with Ripley one other month or two, even when Dominik Mysterio is locked in a shark tank for the match. Decide: Liv Morgan wins — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)
WWE Ladies’s Championship — Nia Jax (c) vs. Bayley: WWE underneath Paul Levesque’s inventive reign prefers sustained title reigns. There’s the occasional sizzling potato-ing, reminiscent of with the intercontinental title, nevertheless it’s not the established order. Jax is simply two months into her WWE girls’s title reign and is rematching the girl she beat for the title. Bayley gained the title in a pleasant WrestleMania second however the subsequent reign wasn’t memorable. The dynamic between Jax and Tiffany Stratton is much extra fascinating and must be prioritized. Decide: Nia Jax wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor: The Judgment Day matches are among the more durable ones to guage. A lot of it comes all the way down to how lengthy WWE desires to pull out the story. The villainous faction has a firmly established presence on Uncooked. That considerably shields Balor and firm from start-stop reserving. Priest defied expectations as a transitional world champion with a very good title reign. It is vital he is booked strongly until WWE desires to desert the time they invested in him. Decide: Damian Priest wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
