For as newsworthy of a night as WWE Bad Blood 2024 was, the main event alone—and its immediate aftermath—gave a glimpse of some of the matches fans can expect in the coming weeks and months on the SmackDown side of things.
Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock is chief among them, having been in the works since before WrestleMania 40. The speculation has always been that they’re bound to battle for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the next installment of The Show of Shows in April, but WWE would be better served to deliver the marquee match before then.
Seeds were planted for another potential matchup at Bad Blood when Bill Goldberg jumped the barricade and attempted to brawl with Gunther, who cracked jokes at his expense. The WWE Hall of Famer was long thought to be retired from the ring, but one more match may not be out of the question.
There’s a way to justify putting Goldberg back inside the squared circle and going forward with a highly physical, hard-hitting affair between the two without it feeling as forced as it has in the past.
This installment of Quick Takes will analyze the possibility of Gunther vs. Goldberg, the right team to dethrone The Young Bucks as AEW world tag team champions, the risk WWE runs with the upcoming Crown Jewel Championship concept, and more.
