10 Reasons WWE’s WrestleMania 31 Is Already Doomed

7. The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

WrestleMania XXX saw the inaugaral Andre The Giant Over The Top Rope Memorial Battle Royal. Thirty-one men battled it out in one of the biggest matches in WrestleMania history, and after a hard fought fiteen minutes, Cesaro bodyslammed Big Show out of the ring, echoing Hulk Hogan€™s famous bodyslam of Andre The Giant at WrestleMania III. In doing so, he won the Battle Royal, and the Andre The Giant Memorial trophy. The match was a surprise hit for WrestleMania XXX. Something that seemed like a card-filler to get everyone on WrestleMania was one of the most entertaining matches of the night, but where do you go from there. WWE can either do a second Memorial Battle Royal, or they can choose not to. The expectation for a second match has spoiled the idea of a second match. If they do one, it€™s incredibly unlikely that magic can strike in such a way two years in a row, so any Battle Royal will be compared to the first match and come across disappointing. If they don€™t do a second match, fans will be upset WWE gave up on the concept. WWE are trapped in a no-win scenario when it comes to the Andre The Giant Battle Royal.
