GCW announces Bloodsport Reborn event without Josh Barnett's involvement

GCW has teased the return of the Bloodsport event, previously associated with Josh Barnett, through a social media announcement stating 'Bloodsport Reborn' is coming soon. Barnett revealed he was not consulted about this return, raising questions about the event's future direction. Earlier this year, Barnett indicated that Bloodsport would be on a long hiatus, and his previous efforts to acquire New Japan Pro Wrestling's Los Angeles Dojo have also surfaced in the news. GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale had previously stated that while Barnett's version of Bloodsport was over, its legacy would persist under different management. The original concept began in 2018 before Barnett took over the event in 2019.
