On October 5, 1997, history was made at WWE Bad Blood in St. Louis when Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker battled in the first ever Hell In A Cell match.

Michaels and Undertaker went about 30 minutes in a bloody back and forth, grueling contest, with "The Heartbreak Kid" winning the classic affair.

Now, 27 years to the day, the event will return as WWE Bad Blood 2024, which will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Ga. One of the main events of the show was announced on the Sept. 9 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw as bitter rivals CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will lock horns. Like Michaels and The Undertaker, it will occur inside the Hell In A Cell.

The other main event of WWE Bad Blood is Roman Reigns and WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes teaming up for the first time to take on Bloodline members Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

Even with Punk having a torn tricep, the feud was still able to heat up and be one of, if not the best WWE feud of 2024.

From the native of Chicago costing McIntyre his newly-won World Heavyweight Championship at night one of WrestleMania, 40 to costing him the same title at Clash at the Castle and Money in the Bank, Punk has been a thorn in McIntyre's side every step of the way.

Finally, they met at SummerSlam with McIntyre getting the victory. But Punk got his revenge four weeks later at Bash in Berlin, getting his first WWE win in over 10 years in a strap match. The score appeared to be settled, but McIntyre wasn't having any of it on the Labor Day edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, when he attacked Punk and savagely bloodied him. That attack led to the announcement on the Sept. 9 Raw of the Hell in the Cell match at WWE Bad Blood.

Who will win the ultimate grudge match?

Reigns returned at SummerSlam for the first time since losing his title to Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 to help Rhodes thwart off The Bloodline, which ended up helping his rival beat Sikoa to retain the belt.

Then two weeks after that on the Aug. 16 episode of WWE SmackDown, Reigns was put on the shelf by The Bloodline when hes viciously attacked and powerbombed through the announce table.

But on the Sept. 13 episode of SmackDown, which was making its return to the USA Network, Reigns returned to help Rhodes again with his former faction. Later in the show, Reigns and Rhodes reluctantly agreed to become a team.

The following week on SmackDown, Reigns and Rhodes took part in a memorable segment in which they stood on the 50-yard line of the Georgia Tech University Football's Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. They discussed their respective histories in Atlanta with Reigns letting Rhodes know when Bad Blood is over, he's coming back for his belt.
