WWE WrestleMania 32 Results: Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Video Highlights
By Bryan Heaton
Who left WrestleMania with the trophy after winning the third annual battle royal?
For the third year, superstars competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania for the chance to earn bragging rights – plus a big trophy in the likeness of the great Hall of Famer for whom the match is named. It’s become a WrestleMania tradition, and this year it moved back to the main show after a year on the Kickoff show.
With twenty superstars battling things out, the main story heading into the match was the budding rivalry between last year’s winner Big Show, Kane, and the Social Outcasts. Big Show was looking to repeat and add another trophy to his case, but Kane has been looking determined to prove he’s the better of the “big men” in WWE. And the Social Outcasts want to prove their mettle and be the first unit to win a battle royal – unless leader Heath Slater gets his way and takes the title for himself.
