We sometimes get to see a few NXT stars compete at Wrestlemania. A few years ago, we saw Baron Corbin win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in his first main roster match. We have also seen plenty of NXT stars appear in the battle royals over the years. With there being two battle royals this year, I have put together a list of NXT stars who I think we could end up seeing.
Wrestlemania Women’s Battle Royal
This match seems like a lock to feature several NXT stars. WWE is going to need a few of them to help fill the match from a numbers perspective. My first guess is that we will see NXT UK Women’s Champion Toni Storm in the match. We saw Rhea Ripley in the 2019 Royal Rumble, so it seems like it is Storm’s turn. This would be a nice way to promote the NXT UK Brand.
I could also see Mia Yim, Vanessa Borne, and/or Aliyah participating in this match. They are three names from NXT who haven’t gotten to be in Royal Rumbles or Wrestlemania Battle Royals in the past. They are my picks for this year as some of the smaller names that we could see.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
I have a feeling that WWE could give either Keith Lee or Dominik Dijakovic a spot in this year’s match. Both guys were supposed to have a match at NXT Takeover: New York but it ended up getting scrapped. It would be cool to see one of those guys get a chance to participate in the battle royal. Seems like something that Triple H would do.
In conclusion, my predictions are Toni Storm, Mia Yim, Vanessa Borne, and/or Aliyah in the Women’s Battle Royal. Keith Lee and/ or Dominik Dijakovic in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
