Karrion Kross to compete at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII
Another WWE name is slated to compete at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII in Las Vegas.
Karrion Kross will be in action at the MMA-inspired pro wrestling show on April 17, which is the Thursday of WrestleMania week. He’s back for his third GCW Bloodsport event after previously competing twice in 2019 before he was signed to WWE.
“A man from the very beginning of Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport is coming back to hone his killer instinct,” Josh Barnett hyped. “What better place in the world then, than the kill-or-be-killed mat of Bloodsport XIII? Say hello again to Karrion Kross.”
Kross has a 1-1 record in Bloodsport with a victory over Nick Gage and a loss to Davey Boy Smith Jr.
An opponent for Kross this time has not been named yet. He posted a tweet this afternoon looking ahead to his return.
Everyone asked me for years when I would come back to Bloodsport.

It was a massive honor to be a part of this event.
As per The Warmaster today:
You now have your answer.
And all I can think is…
If I can see their legs,
They’re probably already broken.
