Backstage News On Potential Spoiler For The 2026 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal Winner

The annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal is scheduled to take place on the WrestleMania 42 go-home episode of WWE SmackDown later tonight in Las Vegas.

According to BodySlam+, while the participants for this prestigious match have yet to be announced, the expected winner of the 2026 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal is Royce Keys.

Keys made his WWE debut at the 2026 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event (PLE) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this past January. However, he had to wait over two months to appear on WWE television. After competing in several dark matches on SmackDown and RAW during that time, Keys finally had his chance to wrestle on live TV last Friday night, where he dominated Berto to kickstart his career on the blue brand.
