WWE wrestler Shayna Baszler set to feature in Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X

In an uncommon opportunity for talent cross-pollination, WWE has granted permission for multiple wrestlers to participate in Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X event next month, with Shayna Baszler being the inaugural announcement.

The news was jointly unveiled today by Josh Barnett and Game Changer Wrestling. Although her opponent remains undisclosed, the announcement delivered the following statement:

“What happens when a Queen wields the blade and strides into battle? Blood. Triumph. Honor. From various battlefronts worldwide – including MMA and the UFC, WWE NXT, WWE, Stardom, and beyond – to now entering a ring she’s inherently suited for. “The Queen of Spades,” Shayna Baszler, protege of “The Warmaster,” steps into Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport X.”

This event, characterized as a hybrid showcase merging elements of wrestling and MMA without ropes, concludes matches solely through knockout, submission, or referee intervention. Baszler, a former UFC standout with a professional MMA record of 15-11, brings a wealth of combat experience to the ring.

Further announcements are expected shortly regarding additional WWE stars slated to participate.
