“Then. Now. Forever. Together.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
Pre-Show Arrivals
We see a shot of some fans in the concourse, excited for tonight’s show. WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker is shown arriving. He’ll defend the title against “Main Event” Jey Uso, who is also entering the arena.
Drew McIntyre is shown arriving at the Toyota Center to respond to CM Punk.
In a low rider reminiscent of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio (technically Guerrero’s storyline son) and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan also arrive at the arena. As they enter, Braun Strowman and “Big” Bronson Reed tackle each other through a merchandise stand in front of them! Mysterio and Morgan walk by and make their entrance into the arena.
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan address WWE Bad Blood
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan make their entrance. Next Saturday, October 5, Morgan will defend the title against Rhea Ripley, Mysterio’s former girlfriend.
The crowd loudly boos them. Morgan says some of them might not know what they just did, but what they just did was a victory lap. That’s what winners do, something the crowd wouldn’t know anything about. They’re celebrating because the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour is going exactly as she planned. If they need any proof as to who runs Monday Night Raw, she has some tape.
Video: Last week on Raw, Damian Priest defeated “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. After the match, the Judgment Day destroyed the Terror Twins and stood tall.
Morgan says she promised to take everything from Rhea Ripley, and that’s exactly what she did. The Women’s World Championship and Judgment Day are hers. The most gorgeous man in the entire world, Dominik Mysterio… they rub noses.
Rhea Ripley comes out to the stage and tells Morgan to shut up. Before she thinks about running away because she can’t attack Ripley from behind, she won’t hit Morgan. Ripley enters the ring, and a “Mami” chant fires up. Morgan shouts at the crowd to “shut up.” Ripley says she has something she needs to tell Morgan. Mysterio stands in front of Morgan. Ripley sarcastically says it looks like he’s found some cajones. She says he’ll do nothing, so he needs to get out of her face before she makes him. Morgan says he might have stayed with Ripley if she cared about him half as much as Damian Priest. Ripley shrugs. Morgan wonders if Ripley is out here to say she can’t compete at Bad Blood after weeks of Morgan bashing her knee. Morgan says she won’t let Ripley get out of this match. She’s going to beat Ripley. She won’t beat Ripley because she’s bigger or stronger (she’s not). Morgan will beat Ripley because she’s smarter than her. She’s been in Ripley’s head for months. Morgan wants to know why Ripley interrupted her.
Ripley says she is fully cleared for Bad Blood. This message is for both of them. Since Dom always wants to stick his nose in the Women’s Championship business, the only reason Morgan won and has retained it in every match, Adam Pearce has decided something. At Bad Blood, Mysterio will be exactly where he deserves to be: behind bars. For the Women’s World Championship match, he’ll be hanging in a shark cage! Mysterio is not happy. Ripley says when there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, and no one to help her, she’ll take back what she never lost: her Women’s World Championship.
As for what Ripley said before, she takes it back… Ripley head-butts Morgan in the mouth and knocks her down! Mysterio checks on Morgan as Ripley chuckles and leaves the ring.

Zayn looks like he is nearly unconscious. Kaiser sneers at him and gets to his feet. Kaiser sets up for his DDT finisher, but Zayn counters into a German Suplex. Kaiser pulls himself up in the corner, and Zayn smashes him with a Helluva Kick for the win!
Winner by Pinfall: Sami Zayn
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther charges down to the ring, dressed to compete. Zayn looks worried. Gunther stays at ringside and grabs a microphone. Gunther says Zayn has been begging him for weeks for a match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther has seen enough. If Zayn really wants this more than anything else, then Ontario, California, is the right place for it. Tonight is the right time for it. Gunther will step up to Zayn and tell him right here and now… “No.” The crowd loudly boos as Gunther laughs and walks off.

Kingston says for the next few weeks, Woods can call the shots for the New Day.
American Made comes up to the New Day and laughs at them. Chad Gable says these two are examples of what not to do as a tag team, bringing out toys and sugar to reignite a dead spark.

Woods says they’ll show American Made what they’re made of and why they’re 12-time Tag Team Champions. Gable says they’d be better off sitting back here playing video games. Brutus Creed calls them nerds. Gable accepts the match against the Creeds. A person with a plate of pancakes walks up behind Woods, but Kingston waves him off.

Drew McIntyre makes his entrance and looks deep in thought. McIntyre stands in the ring, and the crowd loudly chants, “CM Punk.” McIntyre repeats the promises CM Punk made last week. McIntyre has been thinking about what he said and the look in his eyes. Punk meant every single word. For once, Punk was real. Punk is willing to sacrifice everything for this to end. McIntyre has always told the truth and been honest about Punk, but he’s kept the personal stuff to himself because he’s fighting a greater cause. If Punk wants to put it all out there, so will he.

McIntyre promises to make Punk bleed a lot. He’ll make Punk suffer and feel more pain than he’s ever felt in his entire existence. It’s appropriate that Punk compared himself to the devil because this has always been good vs. evil. Punk compares himself to supernatural things, but he’s just a man that McIntyre has broken so easily in the past. Punk is a man that McIntyre will end permanently inside Hell in a Cell. McIntyre walks off.
