WWE Bad Blood is just a couple of weeks away, and there's been some confusion publicly on what the main event will be.

Over the weekend, USA Network ran an article indicating that CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre in Hell in a Cell would be the main event of the Bad Blood PLE. This would make sense in many ways, considering how high profile the feud is and the Hell in a Cell stipulation.

However, as of the time that Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns filmed their vignette and promo at Georgia Tech, the working plan internally was to have that match against the Bloodline close the PLE. Cody Rhodes is from the area, and WWE is having a school band play him in. We're told that Roman Reigns' connection to the are also played a role in that decision.

With the show still two weeks away, anything can change, but as of last week, Rhodesman Reigns vs. Bloodline was the show closer.

Rhodesman Reigns? I don’t watch the product but please tell me this a fightful joke and that the WWE does not call them this

Brady Livingston

Can you look into why this PLE is starting at 6pm EST?

That’d be a rare non-main event PLE match for Roman. I think he’s only taken a backseat to the Royal Rumble match in recent years.

Isn’t there a UFC event happening the same night? Or am I mistaken

I didn’t even think about UFC, I was checking for a Saturday NFL game or MLB playoffs being the reason. Thanks.

Should the rubber match to the hottest feud of the summer inside HIAC main event Bad Blood? Nah, let’s have 40 minutes of chin locks and stare downs main event instead.

JD Larson

All in for Rhodesman Reings.

If Bloodline closes the show they better have a debut/return or fans will be let down whereas if Punk/Drew closes the show there won’t be no huge expectations for the bloodline match

Bad Blood celebrating the to-date anniversary of the first one that had the first HITC as the main event... now the HITC not main eventing the celebration return show just feels wrong. Unpopular take, I know, but how I feel.

Damn, Punk STILL can't get a main event match on a PPV.

CSDX

They'd probably even trademark it despite Fightful coming up with it first, and it'd turn into a mess of a royalty situation like with the bracelet.

FYI- NFL only plays on Saturdays AFTER regular season college football has ended in December

Brady Livingston

I know that, I was checking that after I originally saw the 5pm start time that they changed to 6pm

Darren Bongiovanni

They would be breaking tradition by not having a Hell In A Cell Match main event a Bad Blood PPV.

Jacob Lange

Rhodesman Reigns should not main event

NicksKicks

Good choice. Cody and Roman are the bigger story with more moving parts.

Terps

I honestly don't think it matters that much because there's a ton of hype leading into both matches. Both are worthy of it.
