Pete Dunne officially has a match at Bloodsport XIV.

It was confirmed recently that the current WWE star would be competing at the upcoming event on August 2nd. However, Dunne’s match has been finalized as the former NXT UK Champion will take on Jonathan Gresham.

The latter is an accomplished wrestler in his own right as Gresham is a former ROH World Champion and he’s considered one of the best wrestlers in the world. Gresham has competed in ROH, TNA, Progress Wrestling, and Combat Zone Wrestling. This isn’t Gresham’s first Bloodsport as he made three appearances thus far. He’s currently 0 - 2 as he lost to both Masashi Tanaka and Zack Sabre Jr.

Dunne is no stranger to Bloodsport as he’s previously fought Timothy Thatcher at Bloodsport XIII (check to make sure). The WWE star walked out with a victory that night. Though Dunne doesn’t have much of a Bloodsport career, he competed all around the independent scene. Before his WWE career started in 2017, he competed all around the United Kingdom including PROGRESS Wrestling, FIGHT CLUB: PRO, and DEFY Wrestling. However, Dunne has done plenty of shows outside of the UK scene since he made his pro debut in 2008.

The previous show held in Las Vegas during the week of WrestleMania featured talents from numerous promotions such as WWE, AEW, MLW, TNA/Impact Wrestling, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Big names such as Simon Gotch, Royce Isaacs, David Modzmanashvili, Gabe Kidd, Pete Dunne, Karrion Kross, Karmen Petrovic, Shayna Baszler, and Natalya Neidhart competed at the event. Some of those names will be competing on the upcoming show Friday. 

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. 

Thus far, several names have been confirmed for the upcoming show:

  • Masha Slamovich
  • Dominic Garrini
  • Janai Kai
  • Simon Gotch
  • Nick Comoroto
  • Jonathan Gresham
  • Matt Mako
  • Nattie Neidhart
  • Slade
  • Pete Dunne
  • Charlie Dempsey

More matches will be announced very soon. Check out the confirmed matches for Bloodsport XIV below:

  • Nattie Neidhart vs. Masha Slamovich
  • Jordan Blade vs. Janai Kai
  • Pete Dunne vs. Jonathan Gresham
