GCW (Game Changer Wrestling) recently announced on its Twitter (X) account that the Bloodsport event is being revived with its upcoming Bloodsport Reborn show.
GCW wrote, “the legacy continues
Bloodsport
REBORN
coming soon”
Details about Bloodsport Reborn were not included in the announcement. Josh Barnett has managed Bloodsport for most of its duration, taking over in 2019 after Matt Riddle, who founded the event in 2018, signed with WWE.
Barnett announced that the brand would go on hiatus after Bloodsport XV in April 2026. In an interview on Monday, he mentioned that he was “shopping it around a bit, trying to find some investors.” It is unclear whether this announcement is related to that effort, and Barnett has not yet commented on the GCW announcement.
