The battle royal listing is odd in that it is advertised as the &#8220;third annual&#8221; Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal even though this will actually be the eighth version of the match, so we&#8217;ll wait to see if WWE officially announces the match before adding it to our WrestleMania lineup. The Kickoff Show for WrestleMania Sunday is not listed on my DirecTV guide for USA Network or any of WWE&#8217;s regular network partners, so it will likely be limited to Peacock.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-4124662332\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":100901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[3951,39,3950],"class_list":["post-107689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-wm38","tag-wrestlemania","tag-wrestlemania-38"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
