A change has been made to a WWE star’s crossover match set to take place tonight due to an injury to one of the participants.

Amid WWE’s ongoing crossover with various independent promotions, three WWE stars are set to compete at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XII show tonight in Jersey City.

The show will see Myles Borne take on Royce Isaacs, and Karmen Petrovic take on Sumie Sakai.

Also announced was NXT Heritage Cup Champion Charlie Dempsey taking on AKIRA.

However, an injury has now caused a change in plans to the match between Dempsey and AKIRA, as Barnett took to Twitter, announcing that AKIRA would no longer be competing in the match due to injury.
