5 WWE Superstars who can win Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 36

The grandest WWE pay-per-view event of 2020, WrestleMania 36 is just a few weeks away and the wrestling world is getting ready for yet another thrilling event. The match card for this year’s event features some dream matches like Brock Lesnar vs Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns vs Goldberg, Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler, and Charlotte Flair vs Rhea Ripley.

All the matches promise to live up to the hype however, there is one more match which the WWE Universe always looks forward to and that is the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal match. The Battle Royal has been a staple WrestleMania match for a few years now and is often seen as a platform for all the under-used Superstars to showcase their talent at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Over the years, several big names like Big Show, Braun Strowman, Mojo Rawley, Cesaro, Matt Hardy and Baron Corbin have won this match and here are the 5 Superstars who could stand tall with the trophy this year.

#5 Rob Gronkowski

As reported by Ryan Satin on the latest episode of WWE Backstage, former NFL star Rob Gronkowski is close to signing a deal with WWE. Hence, it is likely that WWE may book his dream debut at WrestleMania 36. Since all the big matches of the men’s division have been announced, there is no place on the card for Gronkowski other than the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

In case he joins WWE before WrestleMania 36, the chances that he wins the multi-man match are very high. To refresh your memories, it was Gronkowski who helped Mojo Rawley win this very match a few years ago. It would be a memorable debut for the former NFL player if the company goes ahead in this direction.

#4 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley seems to be one of the strongest contenders to win this year

After WWE booked Bobby Lashley to face Zack Ryder in a short match on RAW this week, it seems like they will soon announce that the former Intercontinental Champion will be a part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal match. 'The All-Mighty' was a part of a four-month-long rivalry on RAW where he joined forces with Lana to battle her ex-husband, Rusev.

Unfortunately, there was no proper end to that feud The Bulgarian Brute was sidelined due to an injury. Lashley later took part in the Tuwaiq Trophy Gauntlet Match at WWE Super Showdown, where R-Truth got the better of him.

As the WrestleMania match card is stacked up, it is unlikely that he will be a part of any marquee feud. Hence, it would be great if WWE books him to win the multi-man Battle Royal. Often, the fans have said that the Creative team should push the winner of that match in the new season, and if they do decide to do so, Bobby Lashley could push into the Championship picture.

#3 Aleister Black

Although he emerged victorious in his rivalry against Buddy Murphy on RAW, Aleister Black finds himself directionless on the Red brand. He had a mini-feud with AJ Styles, which ultimately proved to be a catalyst for the WrestleMania 36 program featuring The Phenomenal One and The Undertaker.

Last week on RAW, he picked up a fight with Seth Rollins but the bout ended in disqualification. While the Creative team are looking to book a big match for Rollins against Kevin Owens at the Showcase of Immortals, it is unlikely that they would have the same plans for Black.

The Dutch Destroyer has the caliber to be the next big thing in WWE and looking at his performances in NXT, many fans believed that Black would rule the main roster. Unfortunately, the same has not happened yet but WWE can change that in the post-WrestleMania period. To assert his dominance, they could even allow to pick up a victory in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal match.

#2 Ricochet

After being squashed at the hands of Brock Lesnar at WWE Super Showdown, it seemed like the Creative team would bring Ricochet back to the mid-card. Surprisingly. they dropped him to the lower mid-card and had him fight Riddick Moss for the 24/7 Championship. Much to the surprise of the fans, The One and Only lost that match.

Richochet said in a recent interview that he is open to moving back to NXT. However, it is unlikely that the Creative will let him move back anytime soon. The former North American Champion needs some momentum on the Red brand, even if WWE wishes to keep him in the lower mid-card. The best way WWE could use him at WrestleMania 36 is by having him take part in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He can be booked to win the whole thing and later cut a promo blurring the lines between kayfabe and reality.

This way, he could get a ton of momentum and perhaps enter the mid-card title picture on RAW.

#1 King Corbin

Will he become the first-ever two-time Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner?

The King of WWE, Baron Corbin, had first grabbed the attention of the WWE Universe by winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32. The Lone Wolf gradually became a top heel of the company, feuding with the likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kurt Angle and John Cena.

He was recently involved in a lengthy rivalry with Reigns, and he even registered two victories over The Big Dog. Since Roman had the last laugh in that feud, he received an opportunity to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36. On the other hand, Corbin has done nothing noteworthy after his defeat at Super Showdown.

King Corbin took part in a backstage interview where Elias interrupted him. It is unlikely that the company would be a planning a singles match between the two SmackDown Superstars for WrestleMania. So, the best way forward would be to book both men in the Battle Royal.

Hence, as he has worked very hard in the last few months, it would be fantastic if the Creative team allows him to win the multi-man bout and kick off the new season with momentum by his side.
