Another WWE name has been added to Bloodsport.
This year’s show is scheduled for Las Vegas the week of WrestleMania. Talents from numerous promotions such as WWE, AEW, MLW, TNA/Impact Wrestling, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling are scheduled for this annual event. Thus far, Simon Gotch, Royce Isaacs, David Modzmanashvili, Natalya Heidhart, Gabe Kidd, Pete Dunne, and just recently, Karrion Kross and Karmen Petrovic were confirmed for the upcoming show.
Charlie Dempsey joins the list of names.
Dempsey has more experience at Bloodsport than any other WWE name announced so far. The 28-year-old made his debut at Bloodsport X and defeated Matt Makowski. Dempsey returned for Bloodsport XI and failed to get one over Royce Isaacs, but his latest appearance at Bloodsport XII did see Dempsey get the win over Tracy Williams. Though Dempsey didn’t start Bloodsport until his time in NXT, the second generation star did spend some time on the independent scene before joining the company 2021. His opponent has yet to be confirmed.
For those who don’t follow the unique format, 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.
We’re just a little over a month away from the annual Bloodsport and the growing list of names shows signs of a good show. Which name will be announced next for Bloodsport?
There’s still no confirmed matches for the event, but the show still has less than a month away so it’s not a concerning thing. Below are the confirmed names for Bloodsport XIII:
