WWE Star Returning To Indie Promotion
Another WWE star is returning to the independent wrestling scene.
In recent years, it has become more common for WWE stars to appear outside the promotion. This new era of openness to work with other companies has seen the company trading talent with TNA, Pro Wrestling NOAH, and Marigold as well as allowing contracted stars to appear at a number of independent promotions.
Most recently, it was announced that Karrion Kross will be competing at GCW Bloodsport XIII on April 17th, joining Natalya, and Pete Dunne for the show. Now, Josh Barnett has revealed a fourth WWE star for the event, NXT’s Karmen Petrovic. This will mark Petrovic’s second Bloodsport appearance, as in 2024 she scored an impressive win over Japanese veteran Sume Sakai.
“She had an incredible Bloodsport debut, using her karate champion skills to land a lighting like KO.
Now looking again to step in to the hardest hitting event all of Professional Wrestling, put her shin to someone’s chin, and once again stand alone as the victor.
