-- It was announced earlier this week that Shayna Baszler will be competing at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport X - a somewhat shocking development given WWE has historically nixed any ideas of their talent competing on an independent show not to mention it is an event which will also feature talent under contract to AEW.
-- Fightfulselect.com reports that Baszler is not the only wrestler that was asked to compete at Bloodsport, which is technically promoted by GCW and it is also not the first time that Barnett has requested talent from WWE as years ago he inquired about the chance of getting Jessamyn Duke to work the event but was turned down. The report adds that Barnett has known WWE's CCO, Paul "HHH" Levesque for years and that Burnett personally made a call to HHH and asked for Baszler, which the long-time executive agreed to.
