Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: All of the usual goofs make their way out; Baron Corbin is out there and so is DDP and Tatanka. SHAQ is here to participate as well. Shaq and Show chokeslammed Kane, and then took turns tossing goofs like Fandango. After the others had bailed, they all returned and tossed both Shaq and Show after about two-minutes. Once that was done, it broke down into every bland battle royal you’ve ever watched. The Outcasts got some run, and then Corbin got to toss dudes before Kane hit him with the chokeslam. Baron Corbin then tossed Kane to win the match. Baron Corbin won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal @ 9:47 [*½] Good on Corbin, the match wasn’t any good, but it was cool that Corbin won. I’d love to say that they used the match to make a new star, but it’s just Baron Corbin.
