For Ivar, his opponent is Royce Isaacs. This isn’t Isaacs first Bloodsport. The indie veteran is coming off the Bloodsport XIII card where he lost to NXT’s Tavion Heights. Despite the loss, Isaacs has over a decade of experience and has previously competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Elite Wrestling, Defy Wrestling, and NWA. 

This will be Erik & Ivar’s very first Bloodsport event as the duo was still in WWE when the show was first created in 2018. Still, The War Raiders have vast experience on the independent scene. Like Isaacs and Mands, Erik & Ivar has competed in high profile places such as Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and Defiant Wrestling before jumping ship to WWE in 2018.

Bloodsport started in 2018 under Matt Riddle’s name. Once Riddle signed to WWE, the event was turned over to former UFC fighter Josh Barnett. The rules are quite simple: every match will end either by knockout or submission. Instead of the traditional pro wrestling ring, the canvas has no ropes or turnbuckles. 

Bloodsport XIV has nine confirmed matches on the card. This seems to be the final card, but it is subject to change.The upcoming event is filled with talents all across the world including WWE, TNA, Progress, and New Japan. This should be an exciting show. Check out the advertised line-up below:

• Nattie Neidhart vs. Masha Slamovich
• Jordan Blade vs. Janai Kai
• Pete Dunne vs. Jonathan Gresham
• Charlie Dempsey vs. Dominic Garrini
• Nick Comoroto vs. Simon Gotch
• Timothy Thatcher vs. Slade
• Erik vs. 1 Called Manders
• Ivar vs. Royce Isaacs
