WWE News: Sami Zayn vs. Braun Strowman booked for Roadblock with a 10-minute time limit stipulation
After an inspirational yet terrifying speech, Mick Foley finally gave Sami Zayn what he really wanted - a match with Braun Strowman. Therefore, WWE is now promoting Zayn vs. Strowman, for the RAW Exclusive PPV Roadblock- End of the Line, with the added stipulation of the match having a 10-minute time limit.
This week’s Monday Night RAW showcased a visibly frustrated Sami Zayn, who was ‘sick and tired’ of Strowman degrading his wrestling abilities. Zayn said that he deserved to be in a match with the giant, despite Foley’s reluctance to book the fight.
When his words fell on deaf years, Sami Zayn threatened to leave RAW for its’ blue counterparts, SmackDown Live,
Relive the altercation, as it transpired:
After Zayn’s convincing win over Jinder Mahal, Foley came to the ring to inform ‘the underdog from the underground’ about the negotiations that he had orchestrated with SmackDown Live General Manager, Daniel Bryan.
Mick Foley told Zayn that he was being traded to SmackDown for an equally talented Superstar... Eva Marie.

This tapped the dark side of an otherwise likeable Zayn as he proclaimed that he was worth more than a thousand ‘Eva Maries.’ It convinced Foley that Sami has what it takes to survive a showdown with the abominable Strowman.
Mick Foley made the Sami Zayn vs. Braun Strowman match official for Roadblock. The match is stipulated to be a 10-minute bout, which will give Zayn enough time to conquer his demons while WWE can still protect the enigma i.e. Braun Strowman.
