I was really looking forward to this Battle Royal, much like I was the World Tag Title Match, not so much anymore. On Smackdown they announced this will now be part of the Pre Show.
Seventeen men, plus possible surprise entrants, will vie for the Andre trophy, buried on the Pre Show. Is this being done as a possible promo to try to get more people to order the PPV or sign up for the Network at the last moment? I think so.
Battle Royals are standard staples of wrestling that really do two things, they are great filler spots for a card and are almost always fun.
The talent involved in this match should turn this Battle Royal in a fun event for everyone who sees the Pre Show. Coupled with the Four Way World Tag Team Title Match, I hope it does get people to purchase the PPV or network.
I just don’t understand how, with a four hour show, this get bumped down. This makes me believe there are going to be a number of musical spots, too many promos and lots of filler. Hopefully I am wrong and it will lead to longer, better matches.
That said, the Battle Royal should be fun, but it should be on the main card.
