WrestleMania 33: 13 Early Match Predictions
5. Andre The Giant Battle Royal
Ah, the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Much like the winner of The Royal Rumble, the battle royal has done wonders for whoever has won it. Just think of Cesaro...wait, thats a bad example. How about The Big Show? Umhey, Baron Corbin maybe might get something out of it!
Anyway, this is the match where everyone who doesnt have a feud finds themselves on the card. Its a way to reward the full-time roster by letting them appear at Mania, and give them a little payday. Its also a place to put everyone on the show who creative couldnt think of a storyline for. Lets take a look at the 20 likely participants:
Titus ONeil. Unless he grabs Vince McMahons arm again.
Kane. Because Kane will never retire, and WWE will never find anything interesting for him to do again.
Ryback. His newest heel turn is off to a bad start, so this seems like a likely place to land next year.
Alberto Del Rio. The League of Nations has killed any momentum hes had since his return.
Rusev. See above.
Bubba Ray Dudley. He wont get the tables, but hell get about four minutes in the ring before being tossed out.
D-Von Dudley. See above.
Aiden English. Does anyone really see McMahon pushing these guys for an entire year?
Simon Gotch. Yep. See above.
Curtis Axel. The Social Outcasts will be dead by this time, but Axelmania will remain a running gag for the next 10 years.
Tyson Kidd. WWE may put Kidd and Cesaro back together, or they may treat Kidd as an afterthought, which they usually do.
Kalisto. Management doesnt seem fully invested in him for some reason, meaning another singles match next year is highly unlikely.
Stardust. Yeah, sadly this is as good as it gets for him from here on out.
Bo Dallas. You just gotta bolieve he wont be cut from the roster within a year.
Surprise Returns:
The Boogeyman. We havent seen Boogey since Royal Rumble 2015, which means were due for another cameo!
Disco Inferno. Now that Sting has been in WWE, this is the biggest WCW name to never have shown up!
Ken Shamrock. Eh, why not?
Road Dogg. Hes already around the backstage area at every show, and could still fall over a top rope in a pinch.
Jeff Jarrett. Its time to bury the hatchet and let Double J enjoy 15 seconds of fame!
