WWE is letting several wrestlers work Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X event next month, with the first name being Shayna Baslzer.
Decision
It’s unclear who else will be working the show. This is a change from what WWE usually does as they only let talent work other promotions that they have working relationships with, such as Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion.
As previously reported, Triple H made this decision because he views things differently than Vince McMahon in this regard.
More bookings?
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted other promotions are looking to get WWE talent on their shows.
“It’s interesting because on Friday, they announced that Shayna Baszler was gonna be at Bloodsport. It’s really interesting. I think that there’s gonna be AEW people on Bloodsport, so there’ll be AEW and WWE people on the same show. And there are people (promoters) who have been trying to get AEW people on their WrestleMania shows with no success. And I know that there’s gonna be other companies looking to get WWE people because Bloodsport got Shayna, and so it seems they’ve maybe opened the door. But we’ll have to wait and see. Some people are able to get them, and some people aren’t, is basically how it’s gonna go.”
