Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal could lead to huge WrestleMania 39 match involving former WWE Champion - Reports

WWE recently announced that the 9th edition of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal will take place on the WrestleMania 39 go-home edition of SmackDown. A new report indicates that the over-the-top-rope bout could lead to a match between Bobby Lashley and LA Knight at WrestleMania 39.

The All Mighty was on a collision course with Bray Wyatt at the Showcase of the Immortals. However, the former Universal Champion has been absent from TV programming over the last month due to 'physical issues,' putting the match in jeopardy.

While Lashley's WrestleMania future may be up in the air, the former WWE Champion was announced as one of the participants of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which will take place on SmackDown next week.

LA Knight is also set to be a part of the marquee battle royal and according to Xero News, it could lead to a singles match between the 40-year-old star and Lashley on Night One of WrestleMania.

I’ve worked too hard to be denied.

I will be ready to fight on the biggest stage of them all, #WrestleMania.

I don’t care who it is, somebody will feel the wrath of the All-Mighty.

Lashley's former opponent, Brock Lesnar, will take on Omos in a singles match at WrestleMania 39. There were also rumors of The Hurt Business reuniting down the line and the grandest stage could be the perfect place for it as Bobby Lashley also has a score to settle with The Beast Incarnate.
