The Rock and Jimmy Uso Return at WWE Bad Blood 2024

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) event, Bad Blood 2024, saw the high-profile returns of wrestling stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jimmy Uso. The event, held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, was marked by dramatic displays and intense matches that left fans in a fervor. One of the most anticipated returns, The Rock’s appearance, has stirred speculation about his future affiliations within the WWE narrative.

During a main event match, Roman Reigns found himself outnumbered by the Guerrillas of Destiny due to Cody Rhodes being temporarily sidelined from the match after a high-risk maneuver. Jimmy Uso, who was initially unannounced, made a surprise entry, delivering decisive superkicks to the Guerrillas, aiding Roman Reigns.

This unexpected turn of events has fueled rumors of an impending storyline named the “Bloodline Civil War” potentially set to unfold at the upcoming WWE Survivor Series WarGames. While The Rock’s return delighted fans, it left many questions unanswered regarding his allegiance, whether with Reigns’ “Original Bloodline” or with a potential “New Bloodline” alliance.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes teamed for the very first time, drawing considerable excitement as two of WWE’s top stars. Their synergy, despite Reigns’ first entrance in four years without a championship, created a memorable spectacle with the grandeur associated with major WWE events like WrestleMania.

The event also became a notable success in terms of attendance and revenue, marking WWE’s 60th sellout of the year. This momentum is already setting expectations for the upcoming WrestleMania season, with a promise of matching or surpassing previous high-profile events.

In addition to the main storyline developments, other matches carried significant highlights. Nia Jax defended her WWE Women’s Championship against Bayley while wearing red, a potential nod to the ongoing Bloodline story. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre and CM Punk engaged in a heated encounter inside Hell in a Cell, showcasing a brutal narrative that called back to iconic moments in wrestling history.

As the night concluded, the presence of high-profile figures such as Triple H, who announced both the attendance record and upcoming matches, and a multitude of star guests like Quavo, Lil Baby, and Goldberg, underscored the event’s significance. The dramatic moments, both inside and outside the ring, set a new stage for future storylines, intertwining professional wrestling’s complex narratives and character dynamics.
