WWE is just hours away from hosting Bad Blood 2024, the returning premium live event after two long decades.

WWE Universe is essentially feeling the nostalgia around the show set for this weekend.
Reports have surfaced regarding several legends being present at Bad Blood 2024 to make things special while the undisputed WWE Champion has also spoken about the show being the second-largest event of the year following Wrestlemania XL.
