For the first time ever, a WWE tag team will be part of Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport.
Announced by Barnett on Tuesday, former two-time WWE World Tag Team Champions The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) will both compete on this Saturday’s Bloodsport XIV, set for 1 PM Eastern on Triller+ from Rutherford, New Jersey, during WWE SummerSlam weekend.
Neither man has competed in the unique format before. Opponents were not named for either man.
