WWE Bad Blood

WWE Bad Blood (originally stylized as Badd Blood) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), a Connecticut-based professional wrestling promotion. The event was first held in October 1997 when the promotion was still called the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and that first event was held as the 18th In Your House PPV. After six years and after the promotion had been renamed to WWE, Bad Blood returned as its own PPV in June 2003, replacing King of the Ring. To coincide with the brand extension, the 2003 and 2004 Bad Blood events were both held exclusively for wrestlers of the Raw brand division. In 2005, One Night Stand replaced Bad Blood; Vengeance had also moved to June that year as The Great American Bash moved to July. The first Bad Blood is known for introducing the Hell in a Cell match, which was contested as the main event match all three years the pay-per-view was held. Bad Blood had been announced to be revived in 2017; however, these plans were scrapped in favor of an event titled Great Balls of Fire.
