Pete Dunne’s Bloodsport XIV Opponent Revealed

Pete Dunne was already confirmed for GCW and Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV, but now his opponent has been revealed—and it’s none other than technical wrestling specialist Jonathan Gresham.

The match goes down August 2 in Rutherford, New Jersey, and will see the WWE star collide with the free agent in a setting that strips wrestling down to its rawest form—no ropes, no pinfalls, only knockouts or submissions.

This bout marks the first time Dunne and Gresham will meet since 2018, when they clashed in PROGRESS Wrestling. Since then, both have built entirely different legacies—Dunne with WWE, and Gresham through his work in ROH, Impact Wrestling, and across the independent scene. Their clash at Bloodsport promises to be a brutal test of endurance, technical skill, and grit.

Gresham continues to make noise across the indies after departing from Impact Wrestling, while Dunne hasn’t wrestled since a WWE Main Event taping in May. His involvement in Bloodsport—while still signed to WWE—adds an unpredictable layer to this already loaded card. Here’s the updated lineup for Bloodsport XIV:

• Nattie Neidhart vs. Masha Slamovich
• Jordan Blade vs. Janai Kai
• Pete Dunne vs. Jonathan Gresham

Dunne’s opponent being revealed now sets the tone for what could be the match of the night in an event already stacked with intense matchups.
