WWE WrestleMania 34: 5 Superstars who could win the 2018 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale

WrestleMania 34 is now less than a month away. In this article, we focus on the annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale and 5 up and coming Superstars who should win it.

2016’s winner, Baron Corbin, went on to win the Money In The Bank ladder match despite failing to cash it in. Corbin has been hovering around the main-event scene on SmackDown Live.

Last year's winner Mojo Rawley, on the other hand, hasn't done much so it will be interesting to see what kind of push this year’s winner gets.

#5 Killian Dain

Killian Dain has been on a roll in NXT

We start off with the big Scotsman who was in the final three of last year’s ATGMBR. Dain had a solid 2017 in NXT and has only improved as a performer, a particular highlight being his monstrous performance in the WarGames match at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.

With SAniTy seemingly set for a main roster push sooner or later, even if it’s not right after ‘Mania (which seems unlikely right now), Dain winning the ATGMBR will be a good way to get some of WWE’s more casual fans aware of one of NXT’s top faction.

It will also be interesting to have an NXT star win it for the first time.

#4 Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali is one of the breakout stars from 205 Live

If Mustafa Ali doesn’t make it to the final of the Cruiserweight Championship tournament, or even loses in the final, a great way for him to build on his recent momentum than winning the ATGMBR. Ali has come a long way since signing with WWE, both in his in-ring work and especially his promo skills.

Ali has shown us what he can do on 205 Live and if booked right, he can be one of WWE’s next big underdogs. What Ali lacks in size, he more than makes up with speed, ability, and heart.

#3 Tye Dillinger

The Perfect 10 needs a big win

Tye Dillinger has done NOTHING since moving to the main roster, absolutely nothing. The Perfect 10 is over with fans and an excellent worker inside the ring. It’s baffling to think that WWE isn’t looking to capitalize on the talents of someone who at worse, could be a solid mid-carder on the blue brand for years to come.

How does WWE rebuild Dillinger after ignoring him for the better part of a year? You guessed it, have him with the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale.

#2 Rusev

Every day is Rusev Day

Can you imagine the pop inside the Silverdome if Rusev wins the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale? With Mania less than a month away, WWE doesn’t seem to have any plan in place to capitalize on Rusev’s popularity so booking him to win the ATGMBR seems like a no-brainer at this point.

The Bulgarian Brute is the best he’s ever been physically and it looks like he just needs that slight push to really become a fan favorite.

#1 Bobby Lashley

Could Lashley make his return at WrestleMania?

Rumors that Bobby Lashley has signed a deal to return to WWE just won’t go away. If a Lashley return is indeed on the cards, WrestleMania would be the perfect time to reintroduce ‘The Destroyer’ to the WWE Universe.

Lashley tearing through a sea of competitors could be the best way to showcase his return on the grandest stage of them all, especially since it’s too late to book him in a meaningful storyline for a singles match or suchlike.
