Andre the Giant’s Legacy Celebrated in Memorable Battle Royal
The WWE’s iconic WrestleMania go-home edition of SmackDown this past Friday featured an unforgettable Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in Memory of Andre the Giant, honoring the legendary wrestler.
The Competitors: A Diverse Field
Over 20 wrestlers stepped into the ring, including Shinsuke Nakamura, Andrade el Idolo, Ricochet, Omos, Chad Gable, Bronson Reed, and the Pretty Deadly duo. The battle royal promised chaos and excitement, and it did not disappoint.
Eliminations Galore
The action commenced with the swift elimination of Kit Wilson and Elton Prince. Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo followed soon after, while JD McDonagh found himself eliminated by Omos, who strangely made no attempt to toss him over the ropes.
Chaos Reigns Supreme
As the battle raged on, eliminations continued at a rapid pace. The chaos reached a fever pitch when Bronson Reed, Ivar, and Otis Dozovic engaged in a “MeatMania” showdown. Ivar’s Doomsault attempt was thwarted by Reed, who ultimately triumphed with a rolling senton and a lariat.

In a surprising twist, Logan Paul attempted to flee, but was caught by Owens. The former Universal Champion delivered a Stunner to the smug YouTube star, leaving the crowd in a frenzy.
