Carmelo Hayes won the 2025 Andre Memorial Battle Royal on WWE SmackDown.
The final two were Hayes and Andrade, renewing their 2024 rivalry that went seven matches. The finish saw both men on the second rope. Hayes was able to catch Andrade first, dumping him over the top rope to win the battle royal.
Shinsuke Nakamura and Rey Fenix were part of the final four.
Nakamura was eliminated by Andrade with a dropkick as Nakamura was seated on the top rope.
With three men left, Fenix was going for the Goodbye Amigo Kick, but as he went to walk the ropes, El Grande Americo yanked him down and over the top rope.
