2017 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (Kickoff Match)

RESULT: Mojo Rawley wins by last eliminating Jinder Mahal
THOUGHTS: Who the hell would have thought Big Show and Braun Stowman would be eliminated so fast and this would come down to Killian Dain, Jinder Mahal and Mojo Rawley of all people?
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal returns to WrestleMania for the fourth straight year tomorrow, during the second hour of the WrestleMania Kickoff, which can be seen live on WWE Network, USA Network, WWE.com and more platforms. A multitude of WWE Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown LIVE will collide to see who will claim the contest’s coveted trophy.

The annual Battle Royal was introduced at WrestleMania 30 in honour of the late WWE Hall of Famer, Andre the Giant. Since then, the over-the-top-rope extravaganza has become an opportunity for the winner to carve out his very own WrestleMania moment while catapulting his career to new heights.

In the match’s inaugural showing, Cesaro walked out the winner after bringing 75,000-plus WWE fans in New Orleans to their feet as he hoisted Big Show over the top rope for the victory. Since then, The World’s Largest Athlete has joined the winner’s circle along with Baron Corbin. Which Superstar will join this still a very elusive group in Orlando?

Sasha Banks is eliminated by Charlotte. RESULT: Bayley via pinfall. THOUGHTS: So happy Bayley didn't drop the title to Charlotte. There is a recap of the Hall of Fame class of 2017. Hours before defending the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania, Bayley tweeted that she watched The Show of Shows as a child and felt like it was on another planet.

The King has been slain, and “The Man” is free once again. Seth Freakin’ Rollins redesigned his outlook and rebuilt his pride at WrestleMania, defeating his former mentor Triple H in a Non-Sanctioned Match that finally allowed The Architect to free himself of The Game’s influence once and for all.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville vs. Austin Aries (Kickoff Match) : WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Austin Aries To quote a line from the classic TV series, “The Wire,” “If you come at the king, you best not miss.” Well, Austin Aries connected at the WrestleMania Kickoff. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough to pry the WWE Cruiserweight Championship away from Neville. The WWE 205 Live Superstars left no stone unturned – or thrilling manoeuvre untried – as they battled to stand atop the Cruiserweight mountain. The King of the Cruiserweights attempted to wear down Aries, but A-Double – who had only recently returned to ring action after a severe eye injury kept him sidelined for months – was relentless in his pursuit of the purple and silver crown. Time and again, he fired back with reckless abandon, including a major Missile Dropkick that connected flush right on Neville’s royal chin. As the contest progressed, Aries survived two absolutely gnarly German
