By Nick Paglino

WrestleMania Not Sold Out Yet?

As of 9am EST, WrestleMania still has tickets available through both Primary and Secondary Markets. There’s less than 100 tickets on Ticketmaster, now starting at $373. Additionally, there’s over 2,400 tickets on the secondary market via TicketIQ, starting at $97.

Names Removed from Andre the Giant Battle Royal

As noted, NXT stars Killian Dain and Tian Bing have been added to tonight’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Although a graphic was shown on WWE Smackdown Live last week featuring 30 names in the match, WWE.com is no longer listing Titus O’Neil, Sin Cara, The Ascension, Kalisto and The Vaudevillians for the bout.

Former Footballer Putting WWE NXT Career on Hold

As noted, former German football goalkeeper Tim Wiese made his WWE in-ring debut during the U.K. tour last November. Wiese had been training at the Performance Center for a WWE career. ESPN FC is reporting that Wiese is returning to minor league football and is putting his wrestling career on hold. You can check out photos of Wiese below:
