WWE WrestleMania 33: 20 Early Predictions

13. Braun Strowman Wins the Andre the Giant Battle Royal
This one is easy. Braun Strowman has no direction for WrestleMania 33, at least with a potential singles match. His WWE Fastlane opponent, Roman Reigns, is likely booked with the Undertaker, so their feud is just going to be a one-off on March 5. With other Raw stars involved in their own situations, it leaves Strowman without anything to do.
When space runs out, WWE often throws the remaining talents into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. It’s not like the Mountain of a Man is being tossed in there, however. It’s an opportunity for him to step in and dominate the field, getting a WrestleMania win without it being at anyone’s expense. Plus, Strowman could use another year before receiving a prominent spot on the WrestleMania match card.
By getting this battle royal win, it could push Strowman into the WWE Universal Championship picture, depending on who has the belt after the show. If it’s Brock Lesnar or Goldberg, then we may have something interest in store here. If it’s still Kevin Owens, then we can get an extended look at the match they had for the Universal Title.
