Previously, RAW after Wrestlemania, which, as the name suggests, is the first Monday Night RAW following the end of the year's WrestleMania, was arguably just as big of a draw as the Show of Shows. Now, the WWE is turning the final episode of Friday Night SmackDown before The Granddaddy of Them All into every bit of an extravaganza.
To drive the point home, it once again confirmed a previously WrestleMania-exclusive tradition for it.
The world's foremost wrestling promotion announced it's bringing back this year's Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale during the March 31 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Here's a complete list of all the participants: Joaquin Wilde Cruz Del Toro Mace Mansoor Karl Anderson Luke Gallows Shelton Benjamin Cedric Alexander Angel Garza Humberto Carrillo Ashante Adonis Top Dolla Santos Escobar Dexter Lumis BUTCH Ridge Holland Dolph Ziggler Mustafa Ali Rick BOOGS Elias Johnny Gargano Xavier Woods LA Knight Bobby Lashley Karrion Kross Baron Corbin Bronson Reed Madcap Moss
The prevailing theory is that this year's Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale is specifically meant for Lashley to shine.
