NXT star Charlie Dempsey is set to make his return to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport over WrestleMania weekend, becoming the 5th contracted WWE star to be officially announced for the show.
As announced by Barnett on social media, Dempsey will be in action at Bloodsport XIII for the 4th time on April 17th:
A modern wrestler who seems like a someone who has stepped out of the past with his Catch-as-Catch-can skills and approach.
Lighting suplexes, limb wrenching submissions, and the ability to scramble in and out of position like the best of them – Is it any wonder that he’s making his 4th return to Bloodsport? Not in the least.
Charlie Dempsey – Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport XIII.
Dempsey currently has a 2-1 record at the event. Making his debut over WrestleMania weekend the previous year, Dempsey defeated Matt Makowski in his first appearance. Following a loss to Royce Isaacs in July of that year, Dempsey returned in November to secure a victory over Tracy Williams.
Dempsey joins Natalya, Pete Dunne, Karrion Kross and Karmen Petrovic as the contracted WWE stars confirmed to take part in the event.
