41. Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal WrestleMania XXX
Battle royals at WrestleMania are not uncommon. The second Mania featured a 20-man battle royal between wrestlers and NFL players, and WrestleMania 4 opened with a battle royal, to name a couple. But last years Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal was special because it was named after one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history. The inaugural battle royal also gets a vote of confidence because it looks like this is an actual annual match that might become a WrestleMania tradition. In that case, the first one deserves mention. And the instant iconic ending Cesaro slamming Big Show over the top rope is a visual that anyone who saw it live will not soon forget.
