The 11th installment of Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport continues to grow.

A pair of matchups were added to the July 28 card on Tuesday evening, including two veterans of the series.

Timothy Thatcher will make his eighth Bloodsport appearance when he faces Josh Woods in a singles match.

Thatcher has been a fixture of the series since it debuted in 2018. He most recently appeared at last month’s “Bloodsport Bushido” card in Japan, losing in just over 11 minutes to Minoru Suzuki.

Woods, who has been seen as of late working matches in ROH, will be making his Bloodsport debut.

Also announced for the card was a pairing between Masha Slamovich and Jody Threat. While the duo have met 18 times in the ring since 2019, this will be the first time instance where they collide under the special Bloodsport rules.

Slamovich will be looking for her second Bloodsport win. The GCW and TNA vet has appeared four times in the promotion’s past, including a 2022 victory against Janai Kai.

Threat will be heading into a Bloodsport match for the first time.

A total of five matches have been revealed for Bloodsport XI thus far, including the return of WWE talent Shayna Baszler. It’s also expected that a trio of other WWE wrestlers – Julius Creed, Brutus Creed and Charlie Dempsey – will be on the show, although we’re awaiting the specific matchups they will receive.

Here’s a look at the lineup:

  • Homicide vs. Mike Santana
  • Shayna Baszler vs. Miyu Yamashita
  • Mike Bailey vs. Akira
  • Masha Slamovich vs. Jody Threat
  • Timothy Thatcher vs. Josh Woods
