No ropes. No rules. Just pain. The most brutal wrestling event you've never heard of.
Several WWE and NXT stars will be in action as part of tonight’s Bloodsport XI show from Brooklyn, New York. Shayna Baszler will make her second appearance in the Bloodsport ring as she battles Miyu Yamashita. Baszler won her first outing in April by defeating Masha Slamovich. Both Julius and Brutus Creed will be in action for the first time in Bloodsport as Julius takes on Matt Makowski while Brutus battles former UFC fighters and former MLW Champion “Filthy” Tom Lawlor. NXT’s Charlie Dempsey will return for his second Bloodsport outing as he takes on Royce Isaacs. Other action includes Josh Barnett himself taking on Bad Dude Tito; Mike Santana vs. Homicide in a battle of mentor vs. mentee, the aforementioned Slamovich vs. Jody Threat in a clash of TNA talent; “Speedball” Mike Bailey vs. Akira; Timothy Thatcher vs. AEW/ROH’s Josh Woods; and Brian Johnson vs. Heddi Karaoui.
