Mar 30, 2017 at 3:19 PM
WWE recently confirmed all the 30 names that will be competing in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal this Sunday at Wrestlemania 33. Superstars from both Raw and Smackdown will be competing in this match.
It is pretty surprising to see no NXT superstars will compete in this match. Last year, Baron Corbin competed from NXT and not only competed, he won the whole thing by last eliminating the former two times world champion Kane.
Check out the names that have already been confirmed for this match;
Big Show
Braun Strowman
Mojo Rawley
Sami Zayn
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso
Dolph Ziggler
Chad Gable
Jason Jordan
Heath Slater
Rhyno
Mark Henry
Primo
Epico
Titus O’Neil
Sin Cara
Apollo Crews
Curt Hawkins
Jinder Mahal
Bo Dallas
Curtis Axel
R-Truth
Goldust
Konnor
Viktor
Kalisto
Aiden English
Simon Gotch
Fandango
Tyler Breeze
So thirteen superstars from Raw and seventeen superstars from Smackdown will compete in this match. You see, most superstars in this match are jobbers. But still, the picture looks better than the previous years, especially than last year.
Last year, only twenty superstars competed in this match only and only three superstars of them were serious deals. This year, the list does not look any better comparing last year with Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman and Big Show are only serious deals, all other wrestlers can be pictured as jobbers. So it is all a jobber filled match.
As thirty wrestlers have already been booked, is there any chance of seeing some more names being part it? On the first Andre the Giant battle royal, thirty-one superstars fought. So there is, of course, a chance of seeing few more of names.
And what about the surprise entrants? Last year we had two surprise entrants; Diamond Dallas Page and Shaquille O’Neil. What are the chances this year?
They disappointed us at Royal Rumble with Tye Dillinger being the only surprise entrant in the match, what are the chances of surprise participants in this match?
We expect to see Luke Harper in this match, but Harper is not added to the list, so might not be competing. Maybe he will be booked in the WWE championship frame for some interference.
Samoa Joe is not booked in this match either. It is already rumoured to be interfering in the non-sanctioned match between Triple H and Seth Rollins.
We are still hoping to see some better names and some surprise entrants which could make this match a little better.
