It was previously reported that WWE recently announced that they are changing the name of the first-ever Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34 due to numerous fan backlash over Moolah’s controversial past. The match will now be called The WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal.
The WWE website has also updated the match listing to reflect the changes. WWE also deleted the YouTube video for the match but they have not revealed a new promo yet.
Below is the original statement on the first-ever Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal:
