On last night's episode of WWE's Friday Night SmackDown, the promo between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns was cinema at its finest. The face-off at Georgia Tech had a Hollywood movie trailer feel, with rich storylines deeply routed between The American Nightmare and The Original Tribal Chief.

Joe Anoaʻi (Roman Reigns) spent three years with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets from 2003 to 2006 during his College football career, while the famous pro wrestling Rhode's family has a deep history in Atlanta through multiple generations.

WWE Bad Blood 2024 will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, only a few miles from Georgia Tech, where Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns faced off on WWE SmackDown. They are set to take on current Bloodline members, self-appointed 'Tribal Chief' Solo Sikoa and the 'Samoan Werewolf' Jacob Fatu in a tag team match.
