Samoa Joe’s replacement for a top match at an upcoming WWE live event has been revealed.
Originally, Joe vs. Roman Reigns in a singles match was promoted for the upcoming live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 7th.
However, earlier this week, the sports entertainment company pulled the SmackDown star from advertisements for the show.
The reason for this is due to the event being a RAW branded show, and they need a RAW star to take on Reigns.
Mike Johnson reported on a recent installment of PWInsider Elite Audio that the star would replace Joe at this event to face Reigns is former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, who is also slated to wrestle Reigns at other live events.
Here is what the longtime pro wrestling journalist had to say:
“He’s being pulled off a lot of those house shows. They’re going to be doing, including at Madison Square Garden I was told, Roman vs. Jinder.”
Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Elias, Matt Hardy, and Bray Wyatt are also being advertised for this live event.
