Best Bets for WWE Bad Blood 2024

WWE Bad Blood comes to Atlanta on Sat. Oct 5, 2024, live from the State Farm Arena. It isn’t just a clever name either, as the card is stacked with grudge matches from top to bottom.  

This guide lays out the event’s best bets, including odds on CM Punk and Rhea Ripley; keep reading to find out everything you need to know about betting on WWE Bad Blood 2024—including who the best WWE betting sites favor to win. 

CM Punk to Beat Drew McIntyre (+500)

BetUS favors CM Punk (-900) to defeat Drew McIntyre (+500) , and I’m going with Punk to win here too.

The Background

CM Punk made his highly anticipated return to WWE at the 2024 Royal Rumble, after a decade away. He was eliminated by Drew McIntyre, who legitimately injured Punk and put him on the shelf for six months. During Punk’s time away, McIntyre trolled Punk—who is himself of one WWE’s greatest heels ever—leading to a heated rivalry. 

After exchanging victories at SummerSlam and Bash in Berlin, the two will face off again at Bad Blood 2024 in a Hell in a Cell match.

The Argument 

I expect Punk’s experience and viciousness to outweigh Drew’s size advantage, and BetUS agrees. The feud should continue until the two have a huge blowoff match at Survivor Series. 

Even though Punk (-900) is favored to win, betting on McIntyre (+500) isn’t the worst longshot bet I’ve heard of. You’d win $5 for every $1 you bet on McIntyre here, so a successful $20 bet on McIntyre to go over would win you a cool $100. 

Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns to Beat the Bloodline (+650)

BetUS taps Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns (-1600) to beat the Bloodline (+650). This is a real possibility, but I’m going against the grain and picking the Bloodline to win.

The Background

After Cody defeated Roman at WrestleMania 40, Roman’s Bloodline was usurped by Solo Sikoa and a group of new Bloodline members. They’ve been terrorizing Cody ever since, and Roman Reigns returned from a months-long hiatus to save Cody from getting beatdown by the ‘new’ Bloodline. After the Bloodline attacked Reigns himself, a bitter tag-team match was set up for Bad Blood.  

The Argument 

Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline doesn’t have the same prestige that Roman’s version did, and WWE would love nothing more than to elevate the new version of the faction to its previous relevancy. And what better way to elevate them than to have them defeat two of the generation’s biggest superstars; Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. 

At (+650), the Bloodline defeating Cody and Roman (-1600) is my official longshot pick for WWE Bad Blood 2024.

Liv Morgan to Beat Rhea Ripley (+150)

Liv Morgan (-200) vs. Rhea Ripley (+150) has the tightest odds at BetUS, and rightfully so. It’s very difficult to predict where this one is going. 

The Background 

“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio betrayed his on-screen girlfriend Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam 2024, immediately after Morgan had defeated Ripley—with the “accidental” help of Mysterio. Later that night Ripley was kicked out of the Judgment Day Faction, along with Damian Priest. 

After Ripley and Priest defeated Morgan and Mysterio at Bash in Berlin, it was announced that Ripley would challenge Morgan for the Women’s World Championship in Atlanta. 

The Argument 

Rhea Ripley is a superstar, face of the company, and the best Australian WWE wrestler ever. Morgan really came into her own while Ripley was injured earlier in the year, establishing herself as a key player in the Women’s Division. 

It’s a close call, but I’m picking Liv Morgan (-200) to win at Bad Blood. I think she’ll win to set up a blowoff match at this November’s Survivor Series; where Ripley will reclaim the championship she vacated earlier this year.

Damian Priest to Beat Finn Balor (+400)

The oddsmakers at BetUS have Damian Priest (-700) pegged to defeat Finn Balor (+400), and I wholeheartedly agree with them. 

The Background

WWE has big plans for Damian Priest, who was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion for 118 days until losing it to Gunther. During that time, Finn Balor kicked Priest out of the Judgement Day (along with Rhea Ripley). At Bad Blood 2024, the two former stablemates will look to settle their vendetta once and for all. 

The Argument

Finn Balor (+400) is a well-established star in WWE, having held multiple singles and tag team-titles in his 10 years with the company. Priest (-700), on the other hand, is looking to continue to build his legacy as one of WWE’s most reliable superstars. I fully expect Priest to get the best of Balor and leave Bad Blood 2024 victorious.

Gunther to Beat Sami Zayn (+1000)

Gunther (-5000) is the overwhelming favorite to defeat Sami Zayn (+1000) at WWE Bad Blood, and I don’t see any reason to disagree with the oddsmakers. 

The Background

Sami Zayn ended Gunther’s record-breaking Intercontinental Championship reign at WrestleMania 40. Gunther then captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, and now Sami is looking to become the #1 contender to Gunther’s world title.

The Argument

Gunther was the most dominant Intercontinental Champion in decades, and has shown no signs of slowing down during his World Heavyweight Title reign. Never say never in wrestling, but I don’t think Sami stands a chance at dethroning “Der Ringgeneral” Gunther.

Betting on Bad Blood 2024

Grudge matches are plentiful at WWE Bad Blood 2024. If you’re looking for a safe bet, I’d go with Damian Priest (-700) to go over Finn Balor (+400), but at (-700) it might not be worth your money. Betting on Liv Morgan (-200) to beat Rhea Ripley (+150) could be safer, though the odds are much closer on that one. 

If it’s a longshot pick you want, I say go with the Bloodline (+650) to beat Cody and Roman (-1600). Head to BetUS today to place bets on your favorite Superstars for WWE Bad Blood 2024!
