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.

For the first time, TNA’s Mike Santana will step into the unique ring of Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport as he takes on Homicide for the 11th edition of the unique series.

The show is set for Sunday, July 28th in Brooklyn, New York, and the match is the first announced for the show.

While it will be Santana’s Bloodsport debut, it will be the second go-round for Homicide who lost to Tom Lawlor at the third-such show in 2020.

Along with TNA, Santana has been plying his trade in various indies as of late which includes a heavyweight title run in House of Glory and appearances in PROGRESS, Wrestling Open and others.

The two men have been both partners in LAX years ago in TNA and opponents dating back as far as 2015. The two hooked it up as recently as March which was their first time sharing a ring in five years.

Barnett is preparing for this month’s Bloodsport Bushido in Tokyo, Japan, headlined by himself vs. Jon Moxley.
