WWE Bad Blood, scheduled for October 5th, will now begin at 6:00 pm ET instead of the previously announced 7:00 pm ET start time. This adjustment was made to avoid a scheduling conflict with UFC 307, which is set to take place at the same time in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The decision to change the start time was made to ensure that fans can enjoy both events without them overlapping. The pay-per-view portion of the show is expected to start at 10:00 pm ET.
The event will be held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the first Bad Blood event in 20 years. This year’s event falls on the 27th anniversary of the original Badd Blood: In Your House show, which was held on October 5, 1997, in St. Louis, Missouri.
The highlight of the inaugural Bad Blood event was the first-ever Hell in a Cell Match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker, which also saw the debut of Undertaker’s storyline brother Kane. This historic match set the stage for future Bad Blood events, with two more taking place on June 15, 2003, and June 14, 2004, both featuring Hell in a Cell Matches.
