Last week ended with a surprise for the wrestling world, when Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport announced that WWE’s Shayna Baszler would be working the show on April 4, just days before WrestleMania 40. The move signaled a change from WWE, which has often not allowed its talents to take independent bookings, and also made Bloodsport an event where wrestling fans could see both AEW and WWE talent on the same independent event, with AEW/ROH’s Johnny TV, who is scheduled to face Barnett, Marina Shafir, and Lady Frost all announced for the event.
Posible participación de más talento de AEW en Bloodsport
It may not just end with those four talents either. On the latest “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer speculated that more AEW talent would be announced for Bloodsport, confirming the show will feature a mix of talent from the two top promotions in the US. Though Meltzer noted that several promotions had been unsuccessful in securing AEW talent for other events, AEW/ROH talent can still be found performing throughout the weekend, including Bryan Keith, Nick Wayne, and Billie Starkz all being scheduled for DDT’s event hours after Bloodsport. AEW/ROH owner Tony Khan will also hold ROH Supercard of Honor on Friday, April 5, featuring many names from both AEW and ROH.
Independientes buscan talento de WWE
Even still, independent promotions that have been unable to book AEW talent are said to now be looking into reaching out to WWE, hoping to have similar luck in booking WWE talent as Bloodsport did. While it remains unclear whether or not that will work, Baszler’s announcement on Friday was preceded by a report that suggested multiple talents from WWE would be working on Bloodsport, suggesting that there is more to come with that story.
El futuro de los eventos independientes
El anuncio de la participación de Shayna Baszler en Bloodsport ha generado un gran revuelo en el mundo de la lucha libre. Este hecho marca un cambio en la política de WWE, que generalmente no permite que sus talentos participen en eventos independientes. Además, Bloodsport se convierte en un evento donde los fanáticos de la lucha libre podrán ver talento de AEW y WWE en el mismo evento. Sin embargo, este no sería el final, ya que se especula que más talento de AEW podría ser anunciado para Bloodsport.
La importancia de los eventos mixtos
La inclusión de talento de diferentes promociones en un mismo evento es algo que los fanáticos de la lucha libre han estado esperando. Bloodsport se convierte en una oportunidad única para presenciar combates entre luchadores de AEW y WWE. Además, otros eventos independientes también han logrado contar con la participación de talento de AEW, lo que demuestra que existe una apertura por parte de las promociones para colaborar y brindar a los fanáticos una experiencia única.
