Other Indy Promotions Looking To Book WWE Talents Following Shayna Baszler-Bloodsport Announcement

Indy promotions looking to book WWE talents on their shows

In another sign of what Triple H and Nick Khan's WWE will look like, it was announced over the weekend that Shayna Baszler will be in action at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport X, hosted by Game Changer Wrestling, during WrestleMania weekend. The booking reportedly came together after Josh Barnett reached out to Triple H and asked for talents to work the April 4 show. 

This may open the floodgates for WWE talents to work other independent wrestling events, with Dave Meltzer reporting on Wrestling Observer Radio that other companies will be looking to book WWE wrestlers after Bloodsport secured Shayna Baszler.

"I think that there's gonna be AEW people on Bloodsport so it will be AEW and WWE people on the same show. There's people who have been trying to get AEW people on their WrestleMania shows with no success and I know there is going to be other companies looking to get WWE people because Bloodsport got Shayna. So it seems like they maybe opened the door but we'll have to wait and see. Some people are able to get them and some people aren't is basically how it's going to go," Meltzer said.

Bloodsport will feature WWE and AEW wrestlers. In addition to Shayna Baszler, AEW's Marina Shafir has been booked in a four-woman tournament at Bloodsport X. If WWE talents will pop up in Joey Janela's Spring Break or at Effy's Big Gay Brunch remains to be seen.
