Shayna Baszler vs. Miyu Yamashita official for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XI
Shayna Baszler’s opponent for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XI is now official as she will square off against Miyu Yamashita later this month.
After debuting with a victory over Masha Slamovich at Bloodsport X during WrestleMania weekend in Philadelphia, the WWE star was announced for her second go-round last month.
The 29-year-old Yamashita will be making her Bloodsport debut and will be up against Baszler for the first time ever. She made her GCW debut this past April in a trios bout and then was defeated by Joey Janela in May.
Baszler won’t be alone in representing WWE as Julius & Brutus Creed were announced as making their debut for the event last week.
Bloodsport XI will emanate from Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday, July 28th. It will be their third-such event of the year after the aforementioned Philadelphia show and their first-ever event in Tokyo, Japan, last month.
Here’s the current lineup:
- Mike Santana vs. Homicide
- Shayna Baszler vs. Miyu Yamashita
- Julius Creed vs. TBA
- Brutus Creed vs. TBA
