4 wrestlers who deserve better opponents at WrestleMania 34 than the Andre the Giant Battle Royal

A match to fill talent?
The match acts as a filler for all the unused talent on the roster

The stage is set as WrestleMania, WWE's biggest event of the year, is right around the corner. Just two weeks away, WrestleMania 34 takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the city of New Orleans on April 8.

WWE has already confirmed thirteen matches for WrestleMania 34, and another few might be in the works.

With such a huge roster and a stacked up match card, some talented individuals are bound to get lost in the frame.

The André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal acts as a filler for all the unused talent on the roster.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

However, not to demean the legacy of the great Andre the Giant, some wrestlers are way too accomplished to be competing on the pre-show.

It's a shame that a few Superstars who were in title matches in WrestleMania 33 have been demoted this year. Here are four Superstars who deserve to be in better matches than a Battle Royal.


#4 The Revival

No more Top Guys?
The current situation is not favourable for the Top Guys

WrestleMania 33 participation - Did not participate

WrestleMania 34 participation - Competing in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

With The Bar, The Usos, The New Day, and Bludgeon Brothers, all in the tag team title picture, it will be hard to see the best tag-team in WWE competing on the pre-show.

The Revival had established themselves in NXT as one of the best teams in the entire world, a title which you could argue they still hold.

2017 was not great for Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder as injuries had taken them out for a good part of the year.

2018 was supposed to be the year of The Top Guys, but the current storyline depicts otherwise.

Now with Braun Strowman entering the tag-team division, things don't seem favourable for The Revival.

The Revival is one team the WWE should never split. For years they have wrecked havoc in the tag division, and WWE needs to put the duo in title contention this year. With age to their advantage, the future is defiantly bright for this tag team.

#3 Matt Hardy

DELETED himself before Mania?
DELETED himself before Mania?

WrestleMania 33 participation - Won the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship as part of The Hardy Boyz.

WrestleMania 34 participation - Competing in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

The Hardy Boyz's return at WrestleMania 33 last year was met with the loudest pop of the night. The duo had come back to WWE after a gap of seven years and won the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship in a Fatal Four-Way tag team ladder match.

After Jeff Hardy's injury, Matt had some disappointing feuds. He finally gained momentum after his rivalry with Bray Wyatt as "Woken" Matt Hardy.

The Ultimate Deletion was probably the best thing that has happened in 2018 and has got Hardy a much-deserved recognition. The most over performer in WWE today, Matt deserves a better opponent than being in the Battle Royal.

2018 can be the changing point for Hardy. With all the momentum that he finally has, Hardy deserves a contention in the World Title picture. He's not held a singles title in WWE for nine years, and the time has come for the decision to be made.

#2 Dolph Ziggler

Will he ever get a singles WrestleMania match?
Will he ever get a singles WrestleMania match?

WrestleMania 33 participation - Competed in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

WrestleMania 34 participation - Competing in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Dolph Ziggler is one of the most talented wrestlers in WWE today. He had a great 2016 with his rivalry with The Miz being the highlight point of the year.

But since then, things have started going downhill for The Showoff. The next big thing in WWE has just resorted to being a jobber and competing in mid-card status.

It's high time for WWE to harness his potential and set him up as the star he was destined to be. Ziggler is yet to fight in a singles match at WrestleMania. The least WWE can do is to book him as the winner of the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and save his career from a further undoing.

The Showoff has done enough to deserve a lengthy title run in WWE. Maybe another United States Championship stint can help him captivate the WWE Universe again.

#1 Bray Wyatt

WrestleMania 33 participation - Lost the WWE Championship to Randy Orton. Competed on the main show.

WrestleMania 34 participation - Not confirmed.

Bray Wyatt entered WrestleMania 33 as the WWE Champion. A surprise winner at the Elimination Chamber, Wyatt's victory was treated as a celebration as the underrated performer had finally won his first singles title.

Cut to 49 days later, Wyatt lost the title to Randy Orton at the grandest stage of them all.

Not only did he lose his title, his main-event push went off track. Since getting drafted to Raw, Wyatt has been hovering around in the mid-tier level, putting wrestlers like Finn Balor and Matt Hardy over.

Wyatt is the one who needs a desperate push. Since getting thrown into The Lake of Incarnation, Wyatt is yet to appear on a Monday Night Raw event.

His WrestleMania status is not confirmed, and WWE might be making him a surprise entrant in the Battle Royal.

The Face of Fear has fought against the company’s best throughout his career and deserves more than just a pre-show appearance.

Maybe an interference in the IC title match, or being Braun Strowman's mystery partner would work better for The Eater Of The Worlds.
