It was a good victory for a deserving superstar, but as with every year, there isn't much purpose to it. Normally, the match (along with the Women's Battle Royal) seems to have the objective of getting as many superstars on the card as possible.

The 6-time Tag Team Champion Jey Uso won the trophy, joining the likes of Cesaro, The Big Show, King Corbin, Mojo Rawley, Matt Hardy, and Braun Strowman. It isn't exactly the most elite list of winners, and only Braun Strowman went on to have World Championship success two years after the win.
