-- Following Saturday's WWE Bad Blood 2024 premium live event, a post-event press conference took place. Below are live, ongoing results of the presser. Keep reloading the page for the latest updates.
- Jackie Redmond is the host and says we will be joined later by Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest and things will end with Paul "Triple H" Levesque. With that she introduces Morgan
- Liv comes out and isn't happy with the reception so she goes back out and says she will re-enter and needs a better introduction. The first question asks her about the return of Raquel Rodriguez and Dirty Dom in the shark cage and whether that made her nervous. Liv says there is nothing to be nervous about. Dom was okay and is in medical and Raquel is overseeing him right now. She beat Rhea by being smarter, not by being bigger and stronger but Raquel is one person who is bigger and stronger.
- She is then asked about what her championship reign means to her. Morgan says the title is her embodiment of her life's work but more importantly, it is the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour and she finished it by beating Rhea again.
- She is asked if Raquel Rodriguez's return was the "business" that Finn Balor was talking about. Liv laughs and says wouldn't you like to know. Judgment Day has a very specific plan and that plan was in full effect with Raquel, so yes.
- She is asked to compare her current title run to the time she beat Ronda Rousey to win her first title. She says she is levels and levels above where she was. When she beat Rousey, she was over the moon and couldn't believe it but when she won the title this time, she felt it, she knew it and it was exactly what it was supposed to be - the Liv Morgan Revenge tour. Nobody, especially Rhea, didn't believe she was going to take everything.
- She is asked if she has enjoyed the past year and her title run.Liv says she has enjoyed it but she is just getting started and with that she leaves.
- Damian Priest is introduced next. The first question for him asks if he is done with the Judgment Day now and if he's going to turn his focus to the World title again. Priest says he has to think about that. Today felt good to get that win. Whether he's done with the Judgment Day, Priest says he doesn't think so but who doesn't want to be the champion. He will consider and think about that and come Monday, you'll get the answer.
- Priest was asked about the Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley match. Priest says they knew something was going to be up and Judgment Day was going to try something; they caught us by shock. He says he can only imagine what Rhea Ripley will do to them; he will rip them apart.
- Priest is asked if he's right back into the mix for the World Title - if he is paying attention to Gunther, Sami and others. He says Finn Balor is still a big time player and beating him and knowing he got screwed out of the title, he feels he should be right at the front. In this business, you want to be the champion and it's something he's thinking about. However, he feels like Judgment Day hasn't learned their lesson yet. He's going to take the weekend to think about it.
- Priest is asked if he's ready to form a New Judgment Day with Rhea, Jey Uso, Bad Bunny and others. Priest laughs and says the original intention of Judgment Day was to grab talent who were capable of being main eventers but for whatever reason, weren't there. So they got together to push each other and Rhea and he got there. Now he wants to see what he can do alone.
- He is asked about potentially winning the Royal Rumble in January. Priest says it depends, if he wins the World Title, he's fine not participating in that. Royal Rumble sounds cool, but it's just one of the things he's missing. There is a lot of things he an accomplish and experience still.
- Final question asks him about his emotions in the match against Balor. Priest says he was very emotionally invested in this match, he really wanted to hurt Balor not just physically but mentally. It was an emotional match but Balor created this and now he's dealing with the consequences.
- Paul Levesque is the next speaker. He says Cody couldn't make it tonight. He thanks the venue State Farm for being incredible partners and says it was their 60th sell out and it was the largest gate in domestic history for WWE. Attendance was billed at 16,092 officially. He talks about being in Atlanta in the 90s and being here now and doing the business they are doing. It was great a night for everyone, but especially for him. He thanks Metro Boomin, all the other entertainers and athletes who were in attendance. He thanks them for their engagement and passion, growing up with WWE and being a part of it and to hear them talk about how excited they are with the product. They are interested in coming to the Performance Center and it's an amazing time in their business.
- He talks about the Hell in a Cell match and says CM Punk and Drew McIntyre put on a classic and they made the match what a Hell in a Cell should. They took their conflict to a place where there was no other place to go but inside a cell. He says it will be a long few days for them to recover. HHH runs down the rest of the matches and praises them all. Talks about the Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes and the Bloodline and calls it epic storytelling. The return of Jimmy Uso and The Rock showing up. He talks about The Rock coming out to his music and then walking out without saying anything, saying you have to be the biggest star in the world to be able to pull that off. He praises The Rock on always being available for WWE when his schedules allows him.
- He plugs both Crown Jewel and Survivor Series coming up next month as well as Saturday Night's Main Event in December and then the launch on Netflix in January.
- First question about representation of black males on WWE and how they haven't been on recent cards. How does he gauge representation and making sure wrestlers who are deserving get on the card. HHH says he doesn't see any differences, just talent. They tell stories and he doesn't keep track of any of that; he does whatever delivers the best, biggest stories.
- The next question talks about whether it's possible to see one more match in WWE from Goldberg. HHH says Atlanta loves Bill Goldberg and that's why he was here tonight. He basically said "we'll see" but the further you go, time catches up to everyone and the further you go, talks get further and further from reality. He says Goldberg had a spark in his eyes and never say never.
- The next question asks how it feels to be in such a higher period of WWE and TKO and UFC. HHH says they are in a really great period right now with talent and they have an embarrassment of riches. You only have so much time to put them on. Their partners in TKO and UFC are also just crushing it. He says it's a lot of fun and amazing to watch. He puts over WWE's talent and partners again and says together with TKO and UFC, they are unstoppable.
- The next question asks about WWE Raw moving to two hours and how that impacts his work as head of creative and what does it mean for the move to Netflix. HHH says that it's just an hour less of a show but the difference between two and three hours is like night and day. He says it's just different and a little bit of a stress but sometimes less is more. When they get to Netflix, they are still working through all that. You will all have to watch and see and they will deal with it, and no matter what the length of time is, it's just about putting out the best product possible and telling the best stories.
- The next question talks about the big returns tonight, specifically The Rock. He is asked when we might see him back. Triple H says The Rock comes "as he pleases" and he is able to do what he wants to do when he wants to do. He is the Final Boss and he's The Rock. He talks about the embarrassment of riches again and says that it can go anywhere from here.
- The last question asked what the production will look like on Netflix as they have never done a 52-week show before. Triple H says the cool thing what they do different from other sports is that WWE does everything in-house, pointing to producing their own shows. They are looking to paint a masterpiece and while Netflix has given them canvas to paint, they are doing it themselves and it's going to be WWE in all its glory and they are just going to turn up the volume up. They have the ability to do that with Netflix in a way and an opportunity that they haven't had before. They have an opportunity to hit 80% of the globe starting in 2025 with Raw, Smackdown, NXT and the PLEs. They are working hard and they are so excited at what that partnership presents for them. Wait and see but it's going to be awesome.
- He clarifies what he said before - tonight's show was the largest gate for any US arena show in WWE history. He leaves and says see you at Crown Jewel.
