10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Will Exceed 31

9. Andre The Giant Battle Royal Could Be Used To Elevate Someone New

There was a real air of predictability surrounding The Big Show's victory in the pre-show Battle Royal last year.

Admittedly, the monstrous man probably had to win the 'Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal' at some point in time, but it'd be better to see WWE use that gimmick to build someone new instead.

Braun Strowman could be just the ticket this year. Ideally, he'd eliminate someone like Big Show or Kane (or both) as that would feel quite meaningful for the guy. Strowman is someone who desperately needs more ring time and a big win, anyway.

At 'Mania 31, Show limply hurled Damien Mizdow over the top to claim victory, but the match wasn't very captivating or at all memorable.

If the company are going to go to the bother of booking it - even on the 'Kickoff' show - the match has to be valuable in some way or other.

At one point, Braun was being discussed as a possible opponent for The Undertaker, and there may still be plans for that further on down the line. Giving him a win at WrestleMania would be a step in the right direction and could really kickstart his career.
