The winner of the 2021 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle royal is Jey Uso.
WWE held the match during Friday s WWE SmackDown on FOX, which was pre-taped.
The reason for this was because night one of the WrestleMania 37 kickoff show will have no matches, as WWE reportedly wants to utilize the atmosphere of having fans back for the first matches on the main card and make something special of it.
The final two were Shinsuke Nakamura and Jey Uso after Uso eliminated Baron Corbin. Uso eliminated Nakamura for the win.
Roman Reigns came out after the match to hug Jey.
