The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has become a staple of WrestleMania shows over the past 5 years, and while the winners have never really gone on to do big things immediately following their victory, it's still a great prize that wrestlers should seek.

Battle Royal's are always fun, and this one is a great way to get plenty of performers onto the WrestleMania card (even if it is the pre-show), and if the WWE can manage to give the victor a significant push, this could become a very valuable match to win.

That hasn't happened yet, but with the caliber of performers that are going to be in the bout this year, they could start making it happen, and today, we are going to look at some of those stars. From young upstarts to NXT debutants to WWE veterans, the WWE have plenty of options for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 35, and today, we are going to single out 5 stars we think could come out on top.


#5 Chad Gable

Chad Gable is one of WWE's most underrated stars right now, and if he moves on from Bobby Roode, he has the potential to be a major player in WWE's current mid-card.

The former amateur standout has had an impressive WWE career to date, but hasn't been given a chance to thrive as a singles performer, and a win here would give him the chance to kick-start that part of his career.

His relationship with Bobby Roode has been average, but it's time for the incredibly talented and full of potential Chad to step out on his own and make his own mark on the WWE. Sure, he's not the biggest guy, but he is a great worker and incredibly charismatic, and if the WWE are looking to push a new, fresh face on RAW, Gable is the perfect guy to go to.

#4 Keith Lee

Over the years, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has always played host to at least 1-2 or even more debuts from NXT, and the best option for the WrestleMania 35 edition is the Limitless Keith Lee. If spoilers are to be believed, Keith will be going 1-on-1 with Dominik Dijakovic at Takeover a few nights before WrestleMania, so a win in that match plus an appearance at WrestleMania makes him a clear star in WWE's future.

Even if he wasn't to win, a great showing (similar to Killian Dain) would put Keith on the map, and would likely put him on the fast track to Championship gold down in NXT. Sure, Lee has been overshadowed by the likes of Matt Riddle and other new arrivals in NXT, but he's just as good as any of them, and what better way to show it than getting the huge crowd at WrestleMania to 'Bask in his Glory'.

#3 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn has been out of action for the past few months, and while the WWE announced his return would be 'soon', a surprise return at WrestleMania would be a great way to reintroduce him. Zayn spent the last few months of his WWE run as a heel alongside Kevin Owens, but the Underdog from the Underground does his best work as a face, and the WWE need to bring that back for him to succeed.

Kevin Owens doesn't have anything to do at WrestleMania at this point either, so if he was to be in the match, seeing how those two interact could be fun, and very telling of what characters the two will be going forward.

Either way, Zayn needs to return as soon as he's cleared, and there's no better way to do it than on the Grandest Stage of Them All in New York.

#2 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt has been missing from the WWE for quite some time, but has reportedly been cleared for months, so this could be a great way for the WWE to reintroduce him into the mix. The company has been struggling to find a creative way to bring The Eater of Worlds back, and while a pre-show at WrestleMania isn't exactly the biggest or most creative way to do so, it will certainly make people tune in to the usually missable pre-show.

When he is around, Wyatt is the most charismatic and engaging performer in the WWE, with his promos still being a notch above everyone else in the company, but unfortunately, the WWE have struggled to get behind him.

Whether alongside Rowan and Harper or on his own, Bray has the potential to be one of the all-time greats, but if the WWE don't treat him better, they could be missing out on one of this generations biggest potential stars.

#1 Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali has been tremendous for the entirety of his WWE run, but since moving to Smackdown Live from 205 Live, he's definitely taken it up another notch. If not for an unfortunate injury suffered a month ago, he'd probably be in a big time Championship match at WrestleMania, but with #KofiMania running wild, The Heart and Soul will be relegated to the pre-show.

Ali is arguably the most likeable performer in all of the WWE, and if he can't get his shot at the title right now, winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is a good way to keep his momentum going.

Sure, a win hasn't done much for the likes of Cesaro, Mojo Rawley or Matt Hardy, but Mustafa Ali is clearly a star on the rise, so WWE could use his victory to give him momentum, as well as finally make this annual pre-show Battle Royal actually mean something.
