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

#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.
