Last weekend, the wrestling world witnessed a jaw-dropping moment as not one, but three WWE Superstars made a surprise appearance at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X event, hosted as part of the GCW Collective. And boy, did they make some noise!
Leading the charge was none other than the current “WWE NXT” Heritage Cup Champion, Charlie Dempsey, stepping into the ring against reigning BLP Midwest Champion, Matt Makowski, in a showdown for the ages. Despite sporting a dashing battle wound post-match, Dempsey emerged victorious, proving his mettle amidst the grit and grime of Bloodsport.
Tonight, on “WWE NXT,” Dempsey spilled the beans on his intense experience at Bloodsport in a backstage tête-à-tête with his No Quarter Catch Crew comrades, Damon Kemp and Myles Borne. With a black eye as his battle scar, Dempsey recounted the no-holds-barred action at Bloodsport, emphasizing the sheer toughness of the fighters he encountered. “This past weekend at Bloodsport, it was something else,” Dempsey remarked. “No ropes, knockout and submission, and some of the toughest fighters I’ve ever met. See this black eye? That didn’t stop me from getting the win.”
But wait, there’s more! Former “WWE NXT” Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler also made waves at Bloodsport, locking horns with TNA Wrestling’s Masha Slamovich in an electrifying clash. The match saw Baszler’s ruthless stomps leading to a referee stoppage, showcasing her relentless dominance in the ring.
Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport not only marked a groundbreaking collaboration between WWE and GCW but also teased the potential for more WWE stars to step into the fray. With Barnett eyeing talents like Chad Gable and Bron Breakker for future Bloodsport showdowns, the forbidden door may just swing wide open once again.
