Ever since Braun Strowman destroyed Sami Zayn on an episode of Raw, "The Underdog from the Underground" has demanded a rematch with the giant. General Manager Mick Foley first refused to grant him the match, then made him jump through hoops to get it, but it's finally on for Roadblock.

There is, however, a unique stipulation to the bout - the time limit is only 10 minutes. Though Strowman bragged that he could beat Zayn in just two, all the former NXT Champion has to do in order to get a moral victory is last the length of the bout. Plus, if Zayn does it, not only does he sort of win, but Strowman can still be undefeated.

If prior "undefeated" streaks are any indication, WWE loves to beat guys without actually beating them. Even Strowman has suffered losses in tag matches and battle royals. At the same time, a win here would make Strowman look like a real monster, and WWE isn't really protecting Zayn. Let's call it 50/50.
