Under Triple H’s regime, WWE is going through an exciting timeframe and it will now offer Bad Blood 2024, an old-school premium live event that was scrapped long ago. A lot of things have changed since Triple H took things over including the number of matches to be inserted into the match card of a PLE.
Bad Blood 2024 could also be dubbed as one of those big changes as the returning PLE is getting a lot of attention. In more news about the show, it will start earlier than expected and the reason for this unexpected change has also been revealed.

As announced earlier, WWE Bad Blood 2024 will air at a special start time in October, even though it’s a regular premium live event inside the United States territory. Set from Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, October 5, 2024, it’s scheduled to start at 6 PM EST / 3 PM PST. In general, WWE PLEs begin at 8 PM ET for the main card and fans can’t help wondering about the change.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed the reason behind Bad Blood 2024 starting earlier this usual and that’s due to the fact that WWE wants to end the PLE before UFC 307 begins as it’s scheduled on the same day just hours apart,

The earlier expected finish should also be the reason why WWE might have just nixed the expected world championship match from the card of Bad Blood 2024 and rather inserted it into the post-PLE episode of Monday Night Raw set for next week.
