Since WrestleMania XXX, WWE has been organizing a Battle Royal on the day of WrestleMania, where all the lower mid-card superstars compete in front of the global audience. WWE initiated this match so that all the superstars of their stacked roster make it to the match card of the company's grandest show.
This year, WWE will conduct the 5th Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, a match which promises to turn careers but unfortunately does not. WWE has announced 29 names for the WrestleMania 35 match and the list goes as follows;
Braun Strowman, Colin Jost & Michael Che of SNL fame, Andrade, Apollo Crews, Titus O'Neil, Tyler Breeze, Jinder Mahal, No Way Jose, Bobby Roode, Chad Gable, Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel. Heath Slater, Rhyno, Viktor. Konnor, Ali, Shelton Benjamin, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Otis, Tucker, EC3.

The company has received a lot of backlash on social media for their choices ever since they made the list public.

Thus, the chances are high that we may see some changes on the list and here are the 3 superstars who may be added to the Battle Royal and 2 who may be removed.
#1 May be added - Zack Ryder
The most surprising name missing from the Andre the Giant Battle Royal is Zack Ryder. The Long Island Ice-Z has been with WWE for many years yet has failed to solidify his position in the company. However, he has been loyal to the company and has not left the promotion.
Ryder regularly features on WWE Main Event and not long ago, he was involved in a tag team angle with Curt Hawkins on RAW, so it is flabbergasting that Ryder will not be a part of WrestleMania 35.
Given that 29 superstars are a part of the battle royal currently, WWE may announce Ryder as the final entrant.
#1 May be removed - The Hardy Boyz
Among the most decorated superstars in WWE history, Matt and Jeff have found themselves as a part of the least exciting match in WrestleMania history. A lot of people do not even care about this match as it has had no impact on any superstar's career, neither does WWE give the winner a championship opportunity in the future.
The jobbers compete in an over the top battle royal just to pose with a trophy. The Hardy Boyz are way more superior than the other participants in the match and thus, they should be removed from the battle royal.

Given the backlash WWE is receiving after announcing the Hardy Boyz as battle royal participants, chances are high that we may see them in a SmackDown tag team championship match instead at WrestleMania 35.
#2 May be added - The Singh Brothers
Samir Singh and Sunil Singh are the on-screen allies of former WWE Champion 'the Modern Day Maharaja' Jinder Mahal. Their master, Mahal, who had won the United States Championship at last year's WrestleMania, finds himself in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
It is surprising that WWE did not include the Singhs in the battle royal as they have been a constant on WWE Main Event and WWE RAW along with Mahal. They have received the most brutal beatdowns in WWE history, and thus, would have been an entertaining addition to the card.
As I said, WWE may remove the Hardy Boyz from the multi-man match, expect the company to replace them with the Singh Brothers.
#2 May be removed - Andrade
Remember the days when Vince McMahon was very high on Andrade and the rumor mill expected him to emerge victorious in the Royal Rumble match to battle AJ Styles at WrestleMania 35?
Well, that rumor has certainly not come to fruition as instead of main eventing WrestleMania 35, Andrade is going to participate in a match, which includes the likes of Colin Jost and Michael Che.

The former NXT Champion should be pushed in the United States Championship picture ahead of WrestleMania 35. I know WWE does not have much time but this move is more believable than putting the SmackDown Women's Championship on Charlotte Flair.
WWE can have a triple threat match for the title at WrestleMania 35 by adding the Mexican superstar to the already announced match between Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio.
#3 May be added - Rob Gronkowski
The three-time Super Bowl champion, Rob Gronkowski, is heavily rumored to join WWE, especially after he retired on 24 March. Even Stephanie McMahon took to Twitter to announce that WWE's doors are always open for the NFL legend.

WWE always wants a bunch of celebrities at WrestleMania. This year, they already have two from Saturday Night Live and with the rumor that WWE wants the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on the main show of WrestleMania 35, expect them to bring Rob Gronkowski to the event.
Rob had appeared at WrestleMania 33, where he helped Mojo Rawley win the match.
