"Big" Bronson Reed won the 2024 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
"Big" Bronson Reed etched his name in history as he won the 2024 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in thrilling fashion.
Omos looked like the early favorite as he tossed out Kit Wilson, prompting Elton Prince to voluntarily eliminate himself to join his Pretty Deadly partner and avoid the wrath of The Nigerian Giant.
As the field dwindled, Ricochet was poised to take control, but he was shockingly eliminated by JD McDonagh, who was then promptly superkicked over the top rope by Akira Tozawa.
Tozawa, Reed, Ivar and Otis were the final four Superstars, and the Aussie giant stood tall after eliminating the Viking Raider.

The red-hot rivalry between The LWO and Legado del Fantasma added another chapter when Elektra Lopez stunned Zelina Vega.
Moments before the match began, Dragon Lee was found injured in the backstage area, and it left Vega emotional before her major matchup.
Vega seemingly had the match won, but "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio interfered, allowing Lopez to hit Elektra Shock to win the bout for her group.
After the match, Legado del Fantasma started beating down Rey Mysterio, but Andrade switched his alliances and joined the WWE Hall of Famer in the fight!

After the match, The Judgment Day stormed the ring and destroyed both teams, sending a message that they won't surrender their titles easily.

Jey Uso looked strong, nailing several superkicks and a spear, sparking huge "YEET!" chants in Philadelphia, but the mood changed when his twin arrived.
Uso and Sikoa attacked their brother, but Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin" Rollins came to the rescue and whipped their Bloodline enemies with The American Nightmare's weight belt.
