10 Most Shocking WrestleMania 31 Moments

10. Big Show Wins The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Maybe because the Big Show has the worst won/loss record in Wrestlemania history. Maybe because he's just been booked in a not-so-dominant role in The Authority. Maybe because we've seen him do everything in WWE that one wrestler can do. These are three reasons why Show (and not Ryback or Damian Mizdow) winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal was a surprise. However, when one considers that this is Paul Wight's 20th year in wrestling, giving him the honor of being on Andre's level (in some regard) makes sense. Though surprising, it's certainly deserved.
