WWE wrestler Shayna Baszler’s opponent for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X has been revealed. 

In a rare indie appearance for a contracted WWE talent, Baszler will be in action at Bloodsport X at GCW’s The Collective on Thursday, April 4 against Masha Slamovich. 

Barnett revealed Baszler’s opponent in a video posted to social media on Monday where Slamovich commented on taking on Baszler. The video is embedded below. 

Barnett posted: 

In a place like Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport, when a name like Shayna Baszler is announced it’s like blood in the water of an ocean of nothing but sharks. One voice stood out loudest and proudest of all. A voice with a tenor of authority from her accomplishments and tone of pure violence. In the end, I could not deny her request…

Slamovich is a two-time former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion. 

Baszler is a protege of Barnett’s, as well as a former NXT Women’s Champion and former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion. 

A report from Fightful stated that “multiple” WWE talents are planned for the Bloodsport X event, which will stream live on Triller TV+. 

Bloodsport presents pro wrestling matches with a worked MMA style where matches can only be won by knockout or submission. Baszler is a former professional MMA fighter. 

Nic Nemeth vs. Mike Bailey, Josh Barnett vs. Johnny Bloodsport (John Hennigan), and Minoru Suzuki vs. Royce Isaacs are among other bouts confirmed for Bloodsport X.

Nic Nemeth’s unique post-WWE tour will continue during WrestleMania weekend as he will take on “Speedball” Mike Bailey as part of Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X.

The streaming event takes place on Thursday, April 4th as part of the GCW Collective in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Nemeth will be making his Bloodsport debut while Bailey (0-2) is looking for his first event win after losses to Yuya Uemura and Kota Ibushi, respectively.

Nemeth made his GCW debut earlier this month at The Coldest Winter 2, losing to Matt Cardona. He will make his NJPW in-ring debut later this month and recently made his TNA Wrestling debut as well.

An homage to the classic action movie, Bloodsport matches are conducted in a ring without ropes or turnbuckles where wins can only come via knockout or submission.

Here’s the current card:

  • Nic Nemeth vs. Mike Bailey
  • Timothy Thatcher vs. Axel Tischer
  • AKIRA vs. Matt Makowski
  • Fuminori Abe vs. Takuya Nomura
  • Four-woman tournament: Masha Slamovich, Lady Frost, Marina Shafir and Lindsay Snow
