Another TNA Wrestling star is coming to GCW Presents: Josh Barnett's Bloodsport XI later this month.
On Saturday morning, MMA legend and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett announced via social media that "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who will challenge for the TNA X-Division Championship against Mustafa Ali at the upcoming TNA Slammiversary 2024 pay-per-view on July 20, will be working for his Bloodsport XI show just over one week later.
Bailey is scheduled to go one-on-one against AKIRA at the 7/28 show in Brooklyn, New York, which features talents from WWE, NXT, AEW, TNA Wrestling and NWA all working the same show.
With the addition of Bailey vs. AKIRA, featured below is an updated look at the current officially advertised lineup for the 7/28 event in Brooklyn:
* Shayna Baszler vs. Miyu Yamashita
* Mike Santana vs. Homicide
* Josh Woods to compete
* Mike Bailey vs. AKIRA
* Creed Brothers (Julius Creed & Brutus Creed) vs. TBA
Blazing fast, lighting in a ring. A thundercrack of a kick heard throughout NYC.
Determination and savagery. Blood and guts. The hollow sound of skull impacting the floor.
Martial arts, Professional Wrestling, and Pure violence collide.
