10 WWE WrestleMania 31 Matches Evaluated

9. Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

This is essentially just an opportunity for WWE to ram their roster on to the Mania card. That way everyone gets to have a "WrestleMania moment" and somewhat of a payday. The match will absolutely be on the main card, and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the expected participants are -
"Adam Rose, Big E, Big Show, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel, The Miz, Damien Mizdow, Darren Young, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Los Matadores, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus, Luke Harper, Sin Cara, Titus O€™Neil, Ryback, Xavier Woods, The Ascension or Zack Ryder."
Cesaro won last year and it ended up meaning nothing. So if you're a long term viewer, it is hard to really care about this match. WWE made it clear last year that ultimately the trophy win is just superficial. Still, you can hope that it could deliver some exciting action on the night. Done correctly, a battle royal can be a nice change of pace. Unfortunately, the likelihood is that this year's battle royal is just a jobber match to fill ten minutes between the proper bouts.
