WWE premium live events have their own categories in the yearly calendar. WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series are considered as the Big-Fours while WWE now also adds Money in the Bank into the list to make the count a Big-Five. The remaining WWE Network specials are often considered as B-Level events.
One such B-Level WWE premium live event was the returning Bad Blood in early October. Loaded with tons of nostalgia, WWE brought the event back with several legendary names onboard. Multiple returns also went down on the same night to make it one of the most successful events of this year as earlier predicted by Cody Rhodes.
As such, Bad Blood has reportedly been dubbed as the most successful B-level WWE premium live event of 2024. Emanating from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the success of the bygone PLE was further credited to the involvement of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and The Bloodline in top matches of that night.
