00:00This is the sold-out State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:07We're at the home of the NBA Hawks, the WNBA Dream.
00:12And tonight, the return of the iconic WWE premium live event, Bad Blood.
00:18WWE fans have been hanging out all day downtown and have spent the last couple of hours filing into the arena.
00:25Among those arriving earlier, the Second City Saint DM Punk.
00:29There will be no saint tonight when he steps into hell against his hated rival.
00:35That man is the Scottish warrior, Drew McIntyre, who vows to destroy the man who, in his words, quote,
00:44taught him how to hate.
00:49And these two men will be locked inside this structure once coined the Devil's Favorite Playground.
00:57Hell in a cell, which has ruined many a person's career.
01:03Also here tonight, the Judgment Day. A big night for Finn Balor.
01:08Also for Liv and Dom, who are conspicuous by their absence.
01:16They'll be locking horns tonight with the Terror Twins.
01:21Former champions Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley hellbent on revenge tonight.
01:30It's Atlanta. It's the State Farm Arena. It's the return of WWE Bad Blood.
01:51Eyes only.
02:20Who? State Farm Arena. Bad Blood. I'm in.
02:29Good. I need you to do some light recon. Take Metro with you.
02:35Metro Boomin?
02:38How many f***ing Metros do you know?
02:41I like Metro, but...
02:43Who doesn't?
02:47Who doesn't? Multi-hyphenate media mongrel paired up with the undisputed WWE champion.
02:53Nobody knows Atlanta like you do, Cody.
02:58But our mission is sitting in a parking lot?
03:02Not every assignment can be finishing your story.
03:06Okay. How long are we talking?
03:09Long as it takes. Return of a classic requires a classic stakeout.
03:14Okay. We'll take my tour bus.
03:17Negative. Too much attention. You guys are smart. You'll figure something out.
03:24If you get jammed up, call Roman.
03:28Actually, text him.
03:33For the first time in 27 years to the day, the return of a Bad Blood premium live event.
03:41A blast from the past, the site of the very first ever Hell in a Cell match.
03:46We cannot wait to get to Atlanta the first Saturday.
03:49Cody, man, we just gonna sit here in this broke-down ride all the way to October?
03:53Exactly, Metro. It's a classic stakeout.
04:02Don't you have a tour bus?
04:06Just imagine. Pretty soon, this place gonna be pipelined.
04:10I don't know if anyone's ready for this.
04:16By the end of tonight, everyone will acknowledge me.
04:26Who is prepared to push their body to the limit?
04:33In Hell in a Cell.
04:38I want you one-on-one.
04:42This is gonna be a fight. It's not gonna be for the weak of heart.
04:47I'm not just the original Tribal Chief.
04:51I am the only Tribal Chief.
05:06Metro?
05:09Yeah!
05:15Metro?
05:18It's time.
05:26And now, Wendy's and Morgan & Morgan present...
05:31WWE Bad Blood.
05:37He is WWE's Chief Content Officer.
05:40The Hall of Famer, Triple H, is here.
05:43And he promises an historic announcement tonight.
06:03It is an emotional night here in Atlanta for this man, Cody Rhodes.
06:07His family, of course, make their home here.
06:10He's the undisputed WWE Champion in the city where his father, Dusty Rhodes, won many titles.
06:16He arrives with Metro Boomin here tonight as Cody will team with his archenemy,
06:21the OTC, Roman Reigns, who has his first match since WrestleMania.
06:26Unlikely allies versus the Bloodline at our main event tonight at Bad Blood.
06:36Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your hosts for Bad Blood,
06:42Naomi and the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
06:49Bianca Belair and June Coggins!
06:58We are honored and excited to be here tonight, Atlanta, Georgia!
07:10So welcome everyone to WWE Bad Blood!
07:18So welcome everyone to WWE Bad Blood!
07:27It is going to be an amazing and history-changing night.
07:32No doubt be.
07:34And as your host, it is our job to get the party started with...
07:39Hell in a Cell!
07:47Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking live at the sold-out State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
07:5216,902 WWE fans are on hand as they watch the 20-foot-high structure,
08:00thousands of square feet of chain link,
08:03five tons of steel for the 53rd time in WWE history.
08:09Welcome to a Hell in a Cell match!
08:16Hell in a Cell!
08:46Hell in a Cell!
09:17The following is a Hell in a Cell match!
09:23Introducing first, from Ayr, Scotland,
09:27weighing in at 275 pounds,
09:31Drew McIntyre!
09:36Introducing first, from Ayr, Scotland,
09:39weighing in at 275 pounds,
09:43Drew McIntyre!
09:50Ladies and gentlemen, it was 27 years ago to the day,
09:56in St. Louis, Missouri,
09:58where the Hell in a Cell structure first surrounded the ring.
10:02And on that night, The Undertaker faced Shawn Michaels in an epic battle.
10:07On the night when The Undertaker's brother, The Demon Kane,
10:10would appear for the first time in WWE.
10:15Since that night, Hell in a Cell has made history.
10:24It's made history while simultaneously tearing flesh,
10:28shattering bodies, ending careers, and altering lives.
10:34Drew McIntyre steps inside Hell for the third time in his career.
10:39He is yet to win in this matchup.
10:42Losing to Randy Orton for the WWE Championship four years ago.
10:48Losing to Bobby Lashley three years ago.
10:51Tonight, Drew McIntyre hopes to end that streak and end the career
10:57of CM Punk.
11:10You know, Corey, another interesting statistic.
11:13Drew McIntyre made his premium live event debut
11:1815 years and one day ago.
11:22Ironically, in the Hell in a Cell premium live event.
11:28Oh, how Drew McIntyre has come so far from that day.
11:33Hello again, everybody. It's our pleasure to join us here in Atlanta tonight.
11:36I'm Michael Cole. He's Corey Graves.
11:38It is going to be an historic night.
11:41You know, Cole, in this industry, we generally try to avoid using the word hatred.
11:45Superstars usually maintain certain levels of professionalism.
11:49Not the case with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.
11:52You can see by the look in McIntyre's eyes.
11:54He has one mission tonight to end CM Punk for good.
11:58Celebrities and Hall of Famers joining us in Atlanta tonight.
12:01Of course, a city rich in professional wrestling history.
12:05When the stakes are the highest, the stars come out and shine the brightest.
12:09We are joined right behind us at ringside by the Hall of Famer himself.
12:14Goldberg is in the house beside his son, Gage.
12:18Taking in tonight's sights and sound.
12:20And also, there's my guy, Killer Mike.
12:23Grammy award-winning rapper, actor, and activist from right here in Atlanta.
12:27Member of the critically praised hip-hop duo Run the Jewels.
12:32Let me guess, Cole. You got Killer Mike that seat.
12:34I did. Hung out with him backstage, took pictures with him, signed autographs.
12:38Big hip-hop guy. Took his nickname from me.
12:42Shoelace Killer Mike.
12:49Let's go.
13:06Look in my eyes.
13:09What do you see?
13:13Surprise.
13:16I know it ain't good.
13:19I know it's real.
13:22I'll be anything you want me to be.
13:26Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
13:28I'm not the person that you see.
13:32I'm not the man you think you are.
13:37I'm not the person that you see.
13:41I'm not the person that you see.
13:44I'm not the person that you see.
13:50Mr. Illinois!
13:54And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois,
13:59weighing in at 218 pounds,
14:02CM Punk!
14:06Corey, CM Punk in his career is 2 and 2 in Hell in a Cell matches,
14:11but this is his first in nearly 11 years.
14:15Right here in Atlanta, back in 2012,
14:18CM Punk actually had a Hell in a Cell match against Ryback,
14:23defeating him inside this structure.
14:26But you used the word patriot before.
14:29That is what this is about for these two men.
14:32They want to end each other's careers.
14:34They want to maim each other.
14:36They want to send each other to the hospital.
14:40This is not wholly unfamiliar territory,
14:43psychologically speaking, for CM Punk.
14:46If you look back years ago in Punk's career,
14:49once upon a time, he admitted,
14:51in order to destroy the monsters of the world,
14:54he himself must become a monster.
14:57Punk has got to tap into that side of himself tonight
15:00if he wants to walk out of the cell or Atlanta at all.
15:03He said Drew McIntyre has made him the man
15:07his first critics say he is.
15:10McIntyre, on the other hand, tweeted out
15:12and also added a very emotional video today
15:15where he said this is not going to be classic.
15:17It's not going to be cinema.
15:19It is going to be mutually assured destruction.
15:24Matchup is underway.
15:37They were getting tattered when they were younger.
15:39My dad, I don't think he really cared
15:41because I was always a daddy's little girl.
15:43And I definitely was like the little boy
15:46that he always wanted.
15:47So he didn't really care.
15:49My nonna, on the other hand, which is my mom's mom,
15:53she did not like it.
15:55She's old school Italian
15:56and she wasn't very fond of the tattoos.
