The canvas is stripped, the ropes are gone, and the rules are simple: win by knockout or submission. Game Changer Wrestling presents the most punishing event of the year: Josh Barnett's Bloodsport XV.
Streaming Live and Exclusive on TrillerTV+ from the Horseshoe Las Vegas, this installment of the world-renowned shoot-style tournament brings together elite martial artists, catch wrestlers, and international legends for a night of pure, unfiltered combat.
As a cornerstone of The Collective 2026, Bloodsport XV features a historic inter-promotional lineup. With athletes from WWE, NJPW, NOAH, and the independent circuit stepping into the ring, the "Warmaster" Josh Barnett has curated a card where prestige meets pain.
The Main Event: Legends of the Tokyo Dome Yuji Nagata vs Josh Barnett In a massive international main event, the "Warmaster" Josh Barnett faces his legendary rival, NJPW's "Blue Justice" Yuji Nagata. For the first time since their historic 2002 Tokyo Dome main event, these two veterans collide in a shoot-style environment. It is a battle of two icons of the "Strong Style" era looking to settle a 24-year score.
The Queen's Gambit: WWE Royalty Collides Nattie Neidhart vs Shayna Baszler In a historic first-time meeting in a shoot-style ring, WWE's Nattie Neidhart brings the "Dungeon" style of the Hart family to face the "Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler. This is a clash of world-class pedigree—the technical grappling of the Neidhart legacy versus the lethal MMA background of the two-time NXT Champion.
