Leyla Hirsch to compete at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII

A wrestler who recently departed AEW is the latest addition to the Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII lineup.

Leyla Hirsch will be competing at GCW’s Bloodsport event in Las Vegas on Thursday, April 17, though no opponent for her has been announced yet. The show is taking place from the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort and will stream live on TrillerTV+,

“Returning to Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport is a cold blooded killer,” Josh Barnett tweeted while hyping Hirsch’s addition to the Bloodsport card. “A machine without empathy that legitimately thrills in the destruction of her opponents.”

The 28-year-old Hirsch departed AEW when her contract expired at the end of February. Her last match for the promotion took place at ROH Final Battle in December 2024.

This will be Hirsch’s first time wrestling at Bloodsport since 2020, when she lost to Lindsay Snow.

No matches have been announced for Bloodsport XIII yet, but Zack Sabre Jr., WWE star Natalya, Miyu Yamashita, Maika, Jonathan Gresham, Tom Lawlor, and Timothy Thatcher are among the talent that will be competing at the MMA-inspired pro wrestling show.
