Two WWE Stars Announced For GCW Bloodsport XI
Joining Shayna Baszler, two more WWE stars will be in action at Bloodsport XI later this month.
Following the news that Shayna Baszner will be returning to Bloodsport for the upcoming GCW Bloodsport XI, there now comes word that Julius and Brutus Creed will be joining the Queen of Spades on 28 July.
This announcement was made by Bloodsport's Josh Barnett, who took to X with the following:
From the amateur wrestling mats, to the ring of @WWENXT, this pair of brutes are now storming their way to Bloodsport mat.
Brutus and Julius Creed are coming to Josh Barnett's: Bloodsport XI.

For those unaware, both Creed brothers have extensive amateur backgrounds, with Julius a two-time NCAA All-American, a three-time NCAA Academic All-American, tried out for the 2016 Olympic Games, and he helped in Daniel Cormier's training ahead of DC's UFC 214 fight against Jon Jones. In the case of Brutus, the younger Creed brother is a two-time NCAA Division III All-American and was due to compete at the 2020 NCAA Championships before they were cancelled due to COVID-19.
The point being, both Creeds are legit and should be an ideal fit for the worked-shoot nature of Bloodsport.
This comes on the heels of WWE working with Bloodsport during WrestleMania Weekend, where GCW Bloodsport X saw Shayna Baszler defeat Masha Slamovich, and Charlie Dempsey beat Matt Makowski.
In terms of the rest of the Bloodsport XI line-up, the only fight currently confirmed is Mike Santana vs. Homicide, with Masha Slamovich, 'Speedball' Mike Bailey, AKIRA, Matt Makowski, and Barnett himself other names announced to be in action.
