Just hours before night one of WWE SummerSlam 2025, WWE President Nick Khan was spotted taking in a very different kind of wrestling show.
Khan attended Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport on Saturday afternoon at The Williams Center in Rutherford, New Jersey — the same city hosting SummerSlam weekend. The event, known for its no-ropes, hard-hitting hybrid of pro wrestling and MMA, featured several WWE names on the card, including Natalya, Pete Dunne, the War Raiders, and trainer Timothy Thatcher.
Fans in attendance noticed Khan in the building and began sharing photos online, confirming his presence. It’s not the first time he’s shown interest in the Bloodsport brand — Khan also attended the Philadelphia event during WrestleMania 40 weekend in 2024.
With WWE talent actively competing at Bloodsport, Khan’s visit underscores the company’s willingness to embrace cross-promotional moments, even during one of its biggest weekends of the year.
Do you think WWE’s involvement in shows like Bloodsport could lead to more crossover events in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
