Bobby Steveson recently shared his future plans post-WWE in an interview with the Get Comfy Podcast. He mentioned his desire to expand his wrestling horizon and explore different styles by wrestling in various places.
Steveson, known as Damon Kemp during his NXT days, expressed particular interest in Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport. He highlighted his admiration for the MMA world and his own background, suggesting that a tough and raw environment like Bloodsport would be a great fit for him. He envisions a scenario where two competitors bring their roughness to the ring and create art through their performance.
At the latest Bloodsport event, WWE talents like the Creed Brothers, Charlie Dempsey, and Shayna Baszler took part alongside other familiar names such as TNA’s Masha Slamovich, Mike Santana, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey.
Opportunities like Bloodsport seem to appeal to talents like Steveson who are looking to challenge themselves in unique and gritty settings. It offers a platform to showcase a different side of wrestling that combines athleticism and toughness in an artistic form.
