Nah, pretty sure they'll be involved in the shitty Battle Royal, which is on the pre-show.

They really need to add something to the battle royal if they're gonna make it a WM match every year. The trophy does nothing for them! They need to add something else like the winner gets inserted into the main event, or the winner becomes #1 contender for a title of their choosing.
I wanted to vote this "depressing" but there wasn't an option. lolNah, pretty sure they'll be involved in the shitty Battle Royal, which is on the pre-show.
No, 'the winner gets inserted into the main event' would not be a good stipulation and I don't think anyone wants to see triple-threat main event each year.
The Rumble gets you a ME spot at WM and some pre-show Battle Royal shouldn't guarantee someone a chance to insert themselves later in the ME.
However, I agree that it should guarantee the winner a shot at either the US/IC title.
Ok maybe that first idea wasn't my best lol. But yea they should get a shot at a title of their choosing.
Wouldn't mind if the winner of this year's Battle Royal got a shot at Kalisto at Payback, tbh. But, I guess that won't end up being the case.
Sh*t match named after sh*t wrestler. The only reason Vince created it is because he misses his fat friend.

We all know that this battle royal is just for jobbers that had nothing to do heading into WM.
Everybody looks down on it for that reason but I honestly think it's a good idea for that reason. I like battle royals and it gets wrestlers involved in Wrestlemania that normally might not be while not affecting more important matches... such as the dumbass insertion of Stardust, Zach Ryder and Sin Cara in the IC title match.
I dunno. If you really watch a lot of Andre's early work before he got huge, I definitely don't think he was a shit wrestler. He could really move well for a big guy and could even deliver a good drop kick. He really didn't get bad until his body got too big and rickety and it limited his movement. Even then, he should get great respect for really pushing his body through intense pain to not only entertain but to put people over.
That's probably the only good thing about it. Getting them involved when they wouldn't have otherwise. But eh, I just find it pointless, especially cuz whoever wins it only carries the trophy for a while and that's it. They completely forget about it.
