Natalya to face Masha Slamovich at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV
Natalya is returning to Bloodsport.
Josh Barnett made a match between Natalya and Masha Slamovich official for Bloodsport XIV on August 2 in East Rutherford, New Jersey after the two spent most of Monday trading words on social media.
“If you both are so willing to fight then I’ve got the perfect place for it. Let’s see who gets first blood Aug 2nd,” he wrote.
After Natalya made a post reflecting on WWE’s Evolution pay-per-view, Slamovich asked Natalya if she was grateful for the women out there waiting to beat her. The two continued to exchange words until Barnett made the match official.
Slamovich is not only the JCW World Champion, but also currently holds the TNA Knockouts title. She is set to defend it at Sunday’s TNA Slammiversary event against NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne in a match where both titles are on the line.
The bout is the first to be announced for Bloodsport XIV. Talent scheduled to appear include Jonathan Gresham, Nick Comoroto, Simon Gotch, Matt Mako, Dominic Garrini, and Janai Kai. It will stream live on Triller.
