On the anniversary of the first-ever Hell in a Cell match, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will do battle inside of the structure.

WWE has revealed that Punk and McIntyre will face off in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood on Saturday, October 5. The PLE is being held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. It's the first time WWE has used the Bad Blood name for an event in two decades.

Punk and McIntyre have been locked into a heated rivalry throughout 2024, even continuing their feud while Punk was out of action with a torn triceps. They have a 1-1 record against each other since Punk returned to the ring. McIntyre won at SummerSlam (with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee), but Punk evened things up by winning a strap match at Bash in Berlin.

After that loss, McIntyre beat down Punk in a blindside attack on Raw last week. Punk was taken out in an ambulance as part of the angle.

Tonight, there was a segment on Raw where general manager Adam Pearce told McIntyre that the issues between him and Punk need to end. Pearce -- who said he spoke with Punk earlier today -- then announced the Hell in a Cell match for Bad Blood.

Selling last week's attack, Punk was not on Raw tonight. He'll return to the show next Monday.

Bad Blood 2024 is happening 27 years to the day since Hell in a Cell debuted with Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker at Badd Blood: In Your House 1997.

Two additional grudge matches, both involving former Judgment Day members out for revenge against the faction, have also been confirmed for Bad Blood:
