Before WWE add to the tally this coming July, there will have been 22 matches held under the Bad(d) Blood banner thus far; that number doesn't take into account bouts like Molly Holly vs. Ivory (2003) and Batista vs. Maven (2004) which both took place on Sunday Night Heat before the latter two pay-per-views.

The shortest match across all three events to date, a 4 minute 43 second Fatal-4-Way for the WWE Women's Title in 2004, ended when Trish Stratus defeated Victoria, Gail Kim and Lita to win the belt.

By comparison, Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels closed out the same show with a colossal 47 minutes and 26 seconds of action, and that makes their tussle the longest match in the history of Bad Blood; as aforementioned, this war between former D-Generation X buddies took place inside Hell In A Cell, and remains the longest Cell encounter WWE have ever promoted.

If Goldberg is on the 2017 card, don't expect his match to beat such a record.
