5 possible winners for Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

This past Monday night on Raw, Hulk Hogan announced a 30-man 'Andre the Giant Memorial' battle royal for WrestleMania XXX in memory of Andre the Giant and for celebrating 30 years of WrestleMania.It is a great move by the WWE which is fulfilling several purposes - it is honoring a legend like Andre the Giant, it is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the biggest pro wrestling show and most importantly, it is giving those wrestlers who couldn't break in the WrestleMania match card a chance to shine at "the Grandest Stage of them all" and kick-start (or restart) their career.With 30 men in the ring you can expect a lot of competition in the match but these particular stars are going to outlast others and maybe even win the match.

#1 Sheamus

The 2012 Royal Rumble winner has been feuding with Christian ever since he returned. The feud, which has been nothing but boring all the time, seems to be over for a while after Sheamus defeated Christian in a Memphis Street Fight match on Raw (which was entertaining). And it looks like that both Sheamus and Christian will be a part of the Battle Royal because it doesn't look like that WWE will give these two their own matches at 'Mania.

A speed breaker in this feud would give Sheamus and Christian the time to focus on other wrestlers who are participating in the Battle Royal, so that things spice up a bit at WrestleMania and during the match they could re-ignite their rivalry.

Sheamus' chances in the match look good because he has been one of the most consistent performers in three consecutive Royal Rumbles (2012-2014). He won the 2012 Royal Rumble and was the second runner-up in both 2013 and 2014.

And it will be a good move by the WWE if they make Sheamus win the trophy because that win will rejuvenate Sheamus' career, which hasn't picked up the pace since his return.
