Shayna Baszler returning for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XI
After making her debut at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X during WrestleMania weekend in Philadelphia, WWE’s Shayna Baszler will return for her second round at the 11th edition.
Bloodsport XI will emanate from Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday, July 28th.
Baszler, accompanied by Zoey Stark, took on current TNA roster member and former GCW Champion Masha Slamovich, picking up the victory after stomping Slamovich repeatedly and so forcefully that the referee awarded her the win by TKO. Her opponent for this time has not yet been named.
Charlie Dempsey of WWE NXT was also on the show, picking up a win over Matt Makowski.
The 43-year-old Baszler remains in WWE and unsuccessfully competed in a three-way Money in the Bank qualifying match on Monday’s Raw.
Baszler is the third name announced for the show as Mike Santana vs. Homicide was the first officially announced bout.
The Bloodsport brand just made its debut in Tokyo, Japan, last weekend for Bloodsport Bushido. The July show will be their third of the year already.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
