The match, which was initially listed as a 30-man Battle Royal was reduced to 25 participants with the removal of the aforementioned names and the addition of NXT prospects Tian Bing and Killian Dain.
The heart of the matter
English persuaded his fans not to believe everything they read and claimed that he was still a part of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Here is what he wrote in this regard:
So is there a chance that English is right?
What’s next?
WWE will present its annual fiesta, Wrestlemania 33, tonight at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is scheduled to take place on the pre-show.
Author’s take
As much as we appreciate WWE for excluding washed-out talents to hand prospects such as Bing and Dain a chance, we feel that changing the card hours before the show could have a negative impact on talents such as English, who are already struggling to make a name for themselves.
However, with that said English and others could certainly be used to fill out slots, considering that Wrestlemania is going to be a 7-hour long affair!
