Jey Uso became the seventh winner of that André The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on last week's "WrestleMania SmackDown" episode. Previous holders like Cesaro, Big Show, Baron Corbin, Mojo Rawley, Matt Hardy and Braun Strowman all won the thing at 'Mania proper.

The latest victory happened on free TV, and the new engraving shows that. At least WWE weren't content to pretend that Uso actually performed at WrestleMania 37. Nobody was going to buy some pre-pay-per-view special as the real deal.
