5. Real Americans Implode, Cesaro Enters And Wins Battle Royal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z243ehVgHzY WWE's website points out that the fatal four-way Tag Title match will take place on the WrestleMania pre-show, while the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has three vacant slots. It's safe to assume that one of them will go to Rob Van Dam, but the other two are somewhat open. Cesaro is due for a big push after Mania, so relegating him to the pre-show and only the pre-show seems a bit silly, especially considering the reaction he's been getting in matches. While breaking up the Real Americans just as they're catching traction might be a bad idea, they can work around this by having them lose and Cesaro get pissed and tell Zeb that he's going to enter the battle royal on his own to make a statement. If the Real Americans stay together as a team, Cesaro's win can further drive a wedge between the two teammates down the line. It also gives Cesaro a bigger role in WrestleMania and is a far better storyline than Big Show winning because he once was the storyline bastard child of Andre.
