WWE Top 5 rumors of the week and analysis: April 1st, 2017

#3 Winner of Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

In need of a huge win

The rumour: Rumours on Cageside Seats suggests that Braun Strowman will most likely win this year’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

The potential: Braun Strowman was booked as an unbeatable monster leading up to WWE’s Fastlane. He seemed undefeatable at that point of time and then things turned around when he met Roman Reigns. WWE soon sacrificed Strowman to push the Reigns – Undertaker storyline, and he is now in desperate need of a comeback.

Winning the battle royal works perfectly for Strowman. The work rate for the match is low due to its nature and having Strowman win the match will allow the WWE to bring him back on track without exposing his weaknesses.

The Fallout: A feud with Roman Reigns is what Strowman needs after ‘Mania. Lose or win, he needs to take care of unfinished business before he moves onto something new.
