GCW Bloodsport is a professional wrestling event held by the American promotion Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). This event consists of a unique ruleset compared to a traditional pro wrestling event, in that every match must end in either a knockout or submission. The traditional wrestling ring is replaced by a ring canvas with no ropes or turnbuckles.
Several WWE and NXT stars will be in action as part of tonight’s Bloodsport XI show from Brooklyn, New York. Shayna Baszler will make her second appearance in the Bloodsport ring as she battles Miyu Yamashita. Baszler won her first outing in April by defeating Masha Slamovich. Both Julius and Brutus Creed will be in action for the first time in Bloodsport as Julius takes on Matt Makowski while Brutus battles former UFC fighters and former MLW Champion “Filthy” Tom Lawlor.
