-WWE Raw is coming to Miami on July 30 and this week there was a local ad saying Ronda Rousey would be there along with a dark main event of Braun Strowman & Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins & Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens & Jinder Mahal & Elias & Sami Zayn. PWTorch reader Harrison C. writes: “Why would they advertise Sami in a match when they know, and it is public knowledge, he had the rotator cuff surgery and won’t be able to wrestle at that time? I know card is subject to change but you are putting something out there you know you cannot deliver. I’m sure they can replace Sami with someone like Dolph Ziggler or Drew McIntyre, but it just seems shady. Reminds me of the one caller you had who drove hours to a show to see Brock Lesnar when they knew he would not be there.”
