Folks, Bad Blood is about to get a whole lot thicker with some legends walking into town this Saturday. And by legends, I’m talking the kind of stars who were throwing people around back when cell phones had antennas. According to a fresh report from PWInsider Elite, WWE is pulling a serious throwback move, bringing in a roster of icons for the event in Atlanta, Georgia. You’ve got Scott and Rick Steiner, “Diamond” Dallas Page, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Madusa, and Jacqueline Moore all booked to show up. Yep, it’s basically a WCW reunion—because why not?
Now, before you lose your minds and start prepping for an impromptu Steiner Brothers vs. Street Profits dream match, hold your horses. So far, it’s unclear if these wrestling legends will actually be on the show. We do know Page and the Steiners will be posing for photos before the event—so if you’ve ever wanted to awkwardly stand next to a Hall of Famer and smile, this is your shot. As for the others? It’s a mystery, folks. Maybe they’re there to reminisce about the good old WCW days or maybe they’ll pop up mid-show to deliver a surprise bodyslam. Either way, it’s gonna be nostalgic!
The Atlanta connection here is strong, folks. These legends aren’t just showing up for fun—they’ve got roots in WCW, which was born and bred in Turner-land, right there in the heart of Atlanta. And WWE’s playing up that hometown pride, with both Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns having ties to the city. Cody practically grew up in the shadow of WCW, while Roman threw footballs at Georgia Tech before deciding punching people in the face was more fun.
For those keeping score at home, Cody’s got a personal connection to half these legends. Arn Anderson was his manager during his AEW run and had a long history with his dad, the one and only Dusty Rhodes. Meanwhile, DDP is practically family, having been a close friend of Dusty’s and still tight with Cody. If there’s a chance for some “remember when” moments, this is it.
Oh, and let’s not forget the actual matches! Cody and Roman will team up against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu—yes, you read that right, the extended family of wrestling royalty will be throwing down. Plus, we’ve got a Hell in a Cell match with CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre, and Rhea Ripley challenging Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship. Buckle up, folks—it’s going to be one heck of a night!
