GCW is teasing the return of Bloodsport just hours after Josh Barnett spoke of its future, but the sides appear to be on different pages.
On Monday, Barnett appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show and stated, “We have been shopping it around a bit, trying to find some investing.” This comes months after Barnett stated he was shutting the show down for an indefinite period following its WrestleMania Weekend show in Las Vegas.
On Monday night after Barnett’s interview, GCW posted a teaser for “Bloodsport Reborn” and added, “coming soon”.

Barnett responded on X to indicate he was not consulted about GCW’s relaunch.
GCW launched Bloodsport in 2018 over WrestleMania 34 weekend when it was promoted as Matt Riddle’s Bloodsport. After Riddle signed with WWE, the show became Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport from 2019 onward.
