Shayna Baszler to take on TNA’s Masha Slamovich at Bloodsport X

Shayna Baszler will be taking on Masha Slamovich during WrestleMania week at the Josh Barnett Bloodsport X event on Thursday, April 4.

The event, promoted by GCW, gained some additional word of mouth after Baszler, a WWE-contracted Superstar, was announced for the show. WWE rarely allows their talent to show up at indie events, especially during Mania week where it’s all-hands-on-deck doing media and appearances.

The former NXT Women’s champion is a close friend of Barnett and Barnett and GCW owner Brett Lauderdale also share some kind of friendship with Triple H, which obviously helped in facilitating this.

It’s rumored that other WWE Superstars might be announced for this show in the next few days.

Slamovich is currently signed to TNA Wrestling and is a two-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team champion with Killer Kelly.
