WrestleMania 35: 5 Potential winners for the 2019 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

The sixth annual Andre The Giant Battle Royal is stacked with talented WWE superstars who are representing both Raw and SmackDown Live and as well as a few free agents who will be a part of the match this year as well.

Battle Royals, as usual, are always fun to watch and same goes for WrestleMania's traditional Battle Royal as well. First initiated in 2014, the first official Andre The Giant Battle Royal was won by non-other than the 'Swiss Cyborg' Cesaro and in the following years, the likes of The Big Show, Baron Corbin, Mojo Rawley, and Matt Hardy, who became the latest winner, made history at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

This year, several notable stars are also set to compete in the 30-man over the top rope Battle Royal and without any further ado, let's take a closer look at the 5 superstars who at this point are favourite to walk out as the winners of this year's Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

#5. Andrade

Andrade will look to make a mark at his first Mania

As per a few initial rumours, Andrade was apparently set for a big singles match at WrestleMania and many fans also hoped for the former NXT Champion to compete in the US Title at The Grandest Stage of Them All. However, that wasn't the case to be, as WWE went ahead and booked a US Title match between Samoa Joe and challenger Rey Mysterio instead.

Instead, Andrade now finds himself in the dreadful Pre-Show spot, however, an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal win will surely be a massive confidence booster for 'El Idolo'. Following a win at WrestleMania, Andrade could very well shift his focus towards the bigger picture and could find himself in position to challenge for the WWE Championship on SmackDown Live.

Nevertheless, Andrade should definitely be a favourite to win the ATG this year.

#4. Ali

Speaking of shocking WrestleMania moments, how cool would it be if an underdog like Ali would outlast 29 other men and walked out victorious with the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania?

Last year, Ali was in a tremendous Cruiserweight Title match against Cedric Alexander and both men definitely did steal the show. However, within the span of one year, the former 205 Live-star made his transition from Cruiserweight to Heavyweight, as he joined the SmackDown Live brand.

The man formerly known as 'The Heart of 205 Live' could very well write the "Cinderella Story" for himself at the Metlife Stadium and the WWE Universe could very well be in for yet another David vs Goliath sort of storyline as well.

After all, earlier this year, Seth Rollins outlasted Braun Strowman in the final Royal Rumble spot to earn his way to a Universal Title shot at WrestleMania and having Ali pull off the same stunt would be another miracle as well.

#3. EC3

Will EC3 revitalize his career at 'Mania?

Ethan Carter The Third's WWE career has gone from bad to worse and has been on the downhill ever since he picked up a crucial win over former WWE Champion, Dean Ambrose on Raw several weeks ago. However, those wins certainly didn't help EC3 and it surely didn't help him in earning his way to a singles match at WrestleMania.

By this point, it might look like that WWE might have given up on EC3 but if the company plans on revitalizing the former Impact World Champion's career then giving him a historic WrestleMania moment is the perfect place, to begin with.

This will be EC3's WrestleMania debut and if the 'Third Version of Carter' somehow manages to turn the odds and shock the WWE Universe by winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, then it will be no less than a miracle, to say the least.

Personally, I'd surely have EC3 win the ATG Battle Royal, followed up by him being officially assigned to either the Raw or SmackDown roster.

#2. Braun Strowman

Surely, I mean, surely this year has to be Braun Strowman's year right? I mean, who better other than Strowman himself to win a Battle Royal named after the legendary Andre The Giant.

In the past, Strowman has competed in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal on a few solitary occasions and with no proper storyline for him this year while heading into WrestleMania, a monumental win at the ATG Battle Royal would surely be historic.

As for Strowman, 'The Monster Among Men' at this point, remains pretty much the favourite to win the entire Battle Royal and could very well get the most number of eliminations in the match as well. After all, WWE would still be very keen on booking Strowman like the monster he is for their biggest show of the year as well and the former Raw Tag Team Champion might just make another huge impact in New Jersey tomorrow.

Good luck to the other 29 men!

#1. Michael Che or Colin Jost

Okay, so this year's WrestleMania will feature two well-renowned celebrity figures as Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost and Michael Che will be performing at WrestleMania. And my performing I do not mean a stand-up comedy performance, rather the two men will compete at this year's Andre The Giant Battle Royal after shockingly announcing their entry into the match.

Jost and Che pretty much have zero in-ring experience heading into WrestleMania, however, given how WWE has decided to put the spotlight on the two men in their rivalry against Braun Strowman, fans certainly shouldn't take either of them for granted at 'Mania 35.

A couple of years ago, we witnessed Rob Gronkowski play an important role in Mojo Rawley's ATG Battle Royal win and this year, we could very well be in for another legitimate shock given how driven Jost and Che have been heading into WrestleMania 35.

The WWE Universe surely shouldn't be shocked if either or both Jost or Che come out victorious by eliminating Braun Strowman last in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal.
