Two new matches added to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV

With the show fast approaching, the lineup for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV continues to take shape.

Two new matches have been added to Saturday’s card with AEW/ROH wrestler Nick Comoroto making his Bloodsport debut against Simon Gotch.

The other is Timothy Thatcher taking on Slade. It will be Thatcher’s tenth match in the format (3-5-1) while it’s Slade’s second (0-1).

The show, taking place in New Jersey during SummerSlam weekend, will air live via TrillerTV+ with a start time of 1 p.m. Eastern.

Comoroto returned to the ring on AEW Dynamite this April after spending almost nine months out of action following hip surgery. Since then, he’s regularly competed on the indies. Nicknamed “Freak Beast,” he got his start in wrestling at the Monster Factory training school and was signed to WWE from 2019-2020, training at the Performance Center and competing at NXT house shows.

Gotch has a 2-5 record in the seven Bloodsport matches he’s participated in. He was formerly one half of The Vaudevillains in WWE.

Here is the updated Bloodsport lineup:
