Two more contracted WWE stars have been confirmed to be a part of the upcoming Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport event later in July.
Following on from Shayna Baszler and Charlie Dempsey competing at the Philadelphia event over WrestleMania weekend back in April, the unique pro wrestling and MMA hybrid show will return on July 28th in Brooklyn, New York and will once again see multiple main roster stars compete at the event.
Along with the return of Shayna Baszler, Barnett announced on social media that Raw tag team Julius and Brutus Creed would both be competing at the event for the first time ever.
From the amateur wrestling mats, to the ring of @WWENXT, this pair of brutes are now storming their way to Bloodsport mat. Brutus and Julius Creed are coming to Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport XI.
Both brothers have a decorated background in amateur wrestling with NCAA All-American accolades to their names. In the professional wrestling world, The Creeds are former NXT Tag Team Champions. At the time of writing, no opponents have been announced for either of The Creeds. Along with matches featuring The Creed Brothers and Baszler, Mike Santana vs. Homicide has also been confirmed to take place at Bloodsport XI.

In late June, news broke that Dijak would shortly become a free agent after his contract with the company was not renewed. Wasting little time in making an impact outside of WWE, Dijak made an unannounced appearance at an independent show and cut an expletive-filled promo about his time in the company.
In other Bloodsport news, Shayna Baszler’s opponent for the event has been confirmed.
