Rob Gronkowski got his WrestleMania moment as he came out of the crowd and aided best friend Mojo Rawley to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33 Sunday (Monday Manila time) at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
Jinder Mahal attacked Rawley on ringside late in the match before disrespecting the New England Patriots tight end and throwing a drink on him.
That triggered Gronkowski to go over the barricade and barreled through Mahal.

The hyped superstar would then recover and eliminate Killian Dain before finally taking out Mahal to win the match as the two buddies celebrated in the ring.
Rawley was the fourth man to win the annual battle royal, following the footsteps of Cesaro, The Big Show, and Baron Corbin.
Last year, Shaquille O’Neal made a surprise entry to the match as he had his WrestleMania moment with the Big Show. CBB
