Another big name has been added to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport in Las Vegas.

The current NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd has been announced to compete at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII taking place WrestleMania week. This will be Kidd’s first time competing inside a Bloodsport ring. His opponent hasn’t been named yet.

Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII will take place on Thursday April 17th at the Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show will live stream on TrillerTV+. Tickets are still available.

Current lineup for Bloodsport XIIl:

• Miyu Yamashita
• David Modzmanashvili
• Tom Lawlor
• Timothy Thatcher
• Simon Gotch
• Shinya Aoki
• Jonathan Gresham
• Natalya
• Royce Isaacs
• Zack Sabre Jr.
• Maika
• Leyla Hirsch
• Konami
• Pete Dunne
• Gabe Kidd

He came through the NJPW US dojo under Shibata – raised in the shark infested waters of "Strong Style".

Then when it seemed all had been lost, has come back like a Phoenix from the ashes and is now set to burn down the opposition…or anything else that may get in his way.
