10. A Battle Royal Victory That Makes A New Star
Though the annual Andre the Giant Memorial WrestleMania battle royal hasn't been announced yet, it's a safe bet that the third iteration of the match will have a spot on this year's card. With any luck, the bout will do what it's supposed to do and skyrocket a young wrestler's career en route to a big push. So far, that hasn't exactly been the case. Cesaro won in 2014 and it looked like he was on his way up the card, but his good fortune fizzled when the company chose not to follow through with his babyface turn and capitalise on his momentum. Last year, The Big Show scored victory, and his win has barely been mentioned since. This time, WWE needs to make the victory a springboard for great things and give the win to a talent who deserves it. While early rumours indicated Braun Strowman was being considered to win the match, to deliver a true WrestleMania moment, the company should put over someone fans actually care about - like a debuting Samoa Joe, for example.
