#1 No way would they allow a mainstream star to win the match
The WWE Universe did not take too kindly to two members of the mainstream world being included in the match. As Booker T said in the Kickoff Panel, these two guys took two spots that could have gone to two very deserving sports entertainers.
WWE heard what their audience had to say and while there was a heat spot to make the audience think that the two guys from Saturday Night Live would win the match, they wouldn't let two non-wrestlers upstage one of their stars. And this is why Braun Strowman picked up the win in the manner that he did at WrestleMania.
Well, Braun Strowman is the winner of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and his name is in the history books. Whether or not something comes out of it, is incidental.
Congrats to the Monster Among Men.
