Another WWE Name Confirmed for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII

Pete Dunne is about to step into a different kind of fight, and it’s going down at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII. Barnett made it official on social media, confirming that The Bruiserweight is set to make his Bloodsport debut on April 17 as part of WrestleMania week.

Barnett didn’t hold back in hyping up Dunne’s arrival, describing him as a “Strong Style Englishman, from the tough, industrial city of Birmingham.” He made it clear that Dunne is built for this kind of no-ropes, knockout-or-submission-only combat. “He has no problem trading blows or submission holds—wherever the fight goes, this ‘Bruiserweight’ wrestler is up for it.”

Dunne joins an already stacked lineup that includes names like Timothy Thatcher, Simon Gotch, Shinya Aoki, and even WWE’s own Natalya, who will be stepping into the Bloodsport ring for the first time. The event is shaping up to be one of the most physical showcases of WrestleMania week.

With Dunne’s brutal in-ring style and technical skill, it’s only a matter of time before he leaves his mark on the Bloodsport canvas. The only question now—who’s going to be standing across from him when the bell rings?
