Natalya Neidhart is stepping into a whole new battlefield. Josh Barnett has officially announced that the WWE veteran will compete at Bloodsport XIII on April 17, marking her debut in the hard-hitting event.

Bloodsport is known for its no-ropes, no-pins, knockout-or-submission-only format, making it a brutal departure from WWE’s usual squared circle. While Natalya’s opponent hasn’t been named yet, fans are already buzzing about what the former WWE Women’s Champion will bring to the ring in this MMA-influenced environment.

She joins a stacked lineup that includes:

  • Miyu Yamashita
  • David Modzmanashvili
  • Tom Lawlor
  • Timothy Thatcher
  • Simon Gotch
  • Shinya Aoki
  • Jonathan Gresham

Natalya’s technical prowess has made her one of the most respected wrestlers in WWE, but Bloodsport is an entirely different beast. With her background in the legendary Hart Dungeon, she may be more prepared for the no-nonsense, hard-hitting style than some expect.
