Pete Dunne is set to face Timothy Thatcher at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII, an event taking place in Las Vegas on April 17th, during WrestleMania weekend.
Thatcher, known for his time in WWE NXT and currently working as a trainer for WWE ID talent, recently returned to in-ring competition on WWE Evolve, where he faced Sean Legacy.
“Two men that haven’t faced each other one-on-one since 2016, yet seem destined to meet each in perpetual combat. Both adherents of the old ways of Pro Wrestling – Catch-as-Catch-can. Who will take the limb the first and catch hold of victory? Pete Dunne takes on Timothy Thatcher and Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport XIII,” Barnett wrote on X.
Shortly after the Dunne vs. Thatcher announcement, Josh Barnett revealed another match for Bloodsport XIII, featuring former AEW star Leyla Hirsch against Jordan Blade. The Bloodsport XIII card also includes a previously announced match between WWE’s Natalya and Miyu Yamashita.
