“This is April Fools Day”: Wrestling Fans Divided Over WWE’s Shocking Decision on WrestleMania SmackDown

The Friday Night SmackDown before WrestleMania fiesta kicked off in all its grandeur with André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. In the ring full of distinguished champions, Madcap Moss stood tall and eliminated Finn Balor to take the trophy.

While Moss was elated after his win, fans on Twitter certainly didn’t seem so excited about the result. This new push for Madcap caught many fans off guard, as many of them were expecting the former US champion to win. Nevertheless, Moss was as happy as a sandboy to have won the prestigious trophy.

Moss outlasted the likes of Finn Balor, Dolph Ziggler, Shanky, Jinder Mahal, Apollo Crews, Damien Priest, and a few other WWE superstars to lift the André the Giant Memorial Trophy. He attempted to toss Ziggler, Roode, and Balor in one move, but ‘The Prince’ survived before eventually going over the top rope.
