For the first time ever, a WWE wrestler will appear at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport as Barnett disciple Shayna Baszler will make her show debut in Philadelphia Thursday.
Baszler will have tough competition as she battles former GCW Champion and former TNA titleholder Masha Slamovich.
That won't be the only debut at Bloodsport X as multi-promotion champion Nic Nemeth makes his first walk into the unique Bloodsport ring against "Speedball" Mike Bailey.
Barnett himself will be in action and looking to rebound from his first loss as he challenges Johnny (Morrison) Bloodsport.
The Triller+ streaming special will also see a four-woman, one-night tournament as Marina Shafir, Lindsay Snow, Lady Frost and Janai Kai will battle.
Timothy Thatcher and Minoru Suzuki will also compete in separate bouts.
Per event rules, matches can only end via knockout or submission in a ring that has no ropes with a mat that pays homage to the classic movie of the same name.
