Shayna Baszler’s Bloodsport XIII Opponent Revealed

WWE’s Queen of Spades is stepping back into the Bloodsport ring—and she’s not coming for handshakes.

Shayna Baszler is officially making her return at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII on April 17, going toe-to-toe with STARDOM standout Konami. The bout marks a huge moment for both competitors—Baszler is 2-0 in Bloodsport, while Konami enters with a 1-0 record and a major chip on her shoulder.

In a tweet that set the tone for what’s to come, Josh Barnett wrote, “Konami said that her ‘Dream Match’ is to face Shayna Baszler – dreams can come true although @QoSBaszler sees it a little differently…”

Different, indeed. Baszler’s reputation in the Bloodsport ring is no joke, and fans already know she’s not coming in to make friends. While Konami called this a dream, Baszler’s mindset is likely more about punishment than pleasantries.

This showdown joins a loaded card that’s stacked with hard-hitting matchups, including:

• Miyu Yamashita vs. Natalya
• Timothy Thatcher vs. Pete Dunne
• Shinya Aoki vs. Charlie Dempsey
• Karrion Kross vs. JR Kratos
• Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Jonathan Gresham
• Leyla Hirsch vs. Jordan Blade
• Karmen Petrovic vs. Maika
• Plus in-ring appearances from Tom Lawlor, David Modzmanashvili, Simon Gotch, Royce Isaacs, Gabe Kidd, and more.

With Shayna Baszler back in Bloodsport, expect no ropes, no nonsense, and no mercy.
