Julius Creed’s Bloodsport XI opponent revealed
The opponent for WWE’s Julius Creed in his Bloodsport XI debut has been revealed.
Josh Barnett — the man for who the event series is named — posted on Thursday that former Bellator MMA fighter and pro wrestler Matt Makowski will stand across the ring from Creed on Sunday, July 28th in Brooklyn, New York.
Julius (Jacob Kasper) and his brother Brutus (Drew Kasper) were announced for the show in June in the latest talent exchange/loan effort by WWE that began earlier this year. Both have extensive amateur wrestling backgrounds which were followed by Julius signing with WWE in October 2020 and Brutus signing in February 2021.
In a short amount of time, both won the NXT Tag Team titles and got their official main roster call-ups last November. They are now aligned with Chad Gable in his feud with the Wyatt Sicks.
This will be Makowski’s fifth Bloodsport event. He is coming off a loss to NXT’s Charlie Dempsey at April’s Bloodsport X and is 2-2 overall.
The Creeds are part of a large WWE contingent at the show which includes Shayna Baszler and Dempsey.
Here’s the current card:
- Mike Santana vs. Homicide
- Julius Creed vs. Matt Makowski
- Shayna Baszler vs. Miyu Yamashita
- Mike Bailey vs. Akira
- Masha Slamovich vs. Jody Threat
- Timothy Thatcher vs. Josh Woods
