10 Wrestlers Announced For WWE SmackDown Battle Royal Tonight
Who will challenge Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania?
Nine days ago at Elimination Chamber, Bray Wyatt defeated WWE Champion John Cena and four other men to win the title for the first time in his career. On the following episode of Smackdown, though, Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton seemingly refused to claim the WrestleMania championship match he had earned against his leader, prompting general manager Daniel Bryan to declare that Wyatt's opponent at the show of shows would be determined in a battle royal this week.
Early on Tuesday, WWE.com released an official preview of Smackdown, and in it, the company announced the ten men who will be a part of the battle royal. The match will involve Cena, AJ Styles, The Miz, Luke Harper, Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Mojo Rawley, Apollo Crews, Kalisto, and Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose.
Given that the alliance between Orton and Wyatt was borne out of a feud, there's little doubt that the two men will end up wrestling each other at WrestleMania. The question, then, is how this match gets to that point - most likely, either Luke Harper will win and be added to the championship bout, or Orton will finally reveal his allegiance to Wyatt is a charade and somehow claim his shot at the title.
