Bloodsport 8 event will be part of The Collective, a group of events that will be held on WrestleMania weekend in Dallas, Texas.
Hennigan’s resume speaks for itself, as he has enjoyed plenty of success in WWE and IMPACT Wrestling, among other promotions. WWE released him in a wave of cuts on November 18. Since then, Hennigan has returned to AAA, and he has been advertised for The WRLD on Lucha, another show at The Collective.
Bloodsport 8 is shaping up to be a star-studded show; AEW star Jon Moxley, Biff Busick, Timothy Thatcher, and Minoru Suzuki, among other names, have been advertised.
