5) GRONK Appeared For A Sportscenter Moment.
The second Wrestlemania 33 kickoff match was the (4th annual) Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The match featured some big names like Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn and the Big Show. Strowman and Big Show were both eliminated very early as many of the competitors teamed up to take them out. That allowed Mojo Rawley to win the Battle Royal but not before he had some help from his best friend and NFL superstar: Rob Gronkowski

A pretty cool moment that will certainly be on Sportscenter! Congratulations to Mojo!
6) Ambrose vs Corbin Moved To The Kickoff Show
Many fans petitioned for the Smackdown Women’s Championship match to be moved from the kickoff show. WWE listened to the fans and it was bumped to the main card.
As a result of this change in the card, a match had to get bumped down to the kickoff show. That turned out to be the Intercontinental Title match between Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin.
Many fans were unhappy with the match getting moved to the kickoff:
@WWE the use of Dean ambrose is sickening #Wrestlemania

Why would you put this on the pre show last second? Ambrose & Corbin have every right to be pissed. #Wrestlemania

Not a huge Ambrose fan but the guy deserves more respect than the kickoff. He is the biggest workhorse in the company. #WrestleMania
