Bad Blood has already taken place three times in WWE history. The first event under this name was called Badd Blood: In Your House in 1997, followed by pay-per-views simply titled Bad Blood in 2003 and 2004.

The original Badd Blood: In Your House event is considered one of the most important shows in WWE history as it featured both the first-ever Hell in a Cell match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker, and the debut of Kane.

For many years, it was a poorly kept secret that the use of blood and even saying the word blood was frowned upon in WWE, which may explain why the premium live event Bad Blood has been dormant for 20 years.

However, since Vince McMahon’s departure from WWE and the emergence of Triple H as the primary creative force, the the reins were released significantly on this front.

Rhodes was a fitting choice to announce the return of Bad Blood, not only because of his status as WWE Champion and one of WWE’s top stars, but also because of his ties to the venue.

American Nightmare was born and raised in Marietta, Georgia, about 20 miles from Atlanta.

Recently, many of WWE’s non-Big Four premium live events have taken place outside of the United States, but Bad Blood will represent a return to a more traditional PLE schedule.

After Money in the Bank in Toronto on Saturday night, SummerSlam will be held in Cleveland next month, while Bash in Berlin will take place in Berlin, Germany on August 31.
