14 Burning Questions For WWE WrestleMania 32

14. Who Will Win The Battle Royal?

When it was originally conceived, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal was viewed as an annual signature event for WrestleMania, a way to honor a legendary wrestler and provide a way for many members of the roster to participate in WWE’s biggest event. Ideally, it also would serve a role similar to what King of the Ring and the Royal Rumble used to in the 90s: a stepping stone to the future.

After Cesaro won in 2014 and immediately ditched Zeb Colter in favor of Paul Heyman, many felt that this is exactly what was happening. The Swiss Superman was destined for the upper card and possibly a PPV main event. Instead, the creative team lost interest in him and Cesaro faded to the background, having to build himself back up with Tyson Kidd as Tag Team Champions.

Last year, Big Show won the battle royal, which already was moved to the Mania pre-show, and proceeded to do nothing with this honor other than to pose with the Andre statue. Whoopee. And this year, Show is looking to repeat, but Kane stands in his way. Oh, and the Social Outcasts and a host of other lower-card wrestlers are looking to claim victory. Could the battle royal return to its original idea and have someone break from the pack?
