#3 First-ever women's WrestleMania Battle Royal - WrestleMania 34

Since 2014, WWE's men have battled it out on the WrestleMania pre-show to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The women on the roster didn't have the same opportunity from the start. However, this changed in 2018.

At WrestleMania 34, the first-ever women's battle royal took place. In the match, 20 women from across the RAW, SmackDown, and NXT rosters took part to earn a chance at becoming the inaugural winner. In the end, it was former SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi who won by last eliminating Bayley.

The women's battle royal returned in 2019 at WrestleMania 35. This time, 17 women took part, and it was won again by a former SmackDown Women's Champion in Carmella.

The women's battle royal wasn't on the card for WrestleMania 36 due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemi, and now the future of this match is uncertain.

Despite there being an Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the go-home edition of SmackDown this year, the women's equivalent was not on the card.
