As noted, WWE announced today that they have changed The Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal to the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal due to fan backlash over Moolah’s past. The match will still take place at WrestleMania 34 but there will be no tribute to Moolah, who is still a WWE Hall of Famer. Stephanie McMahon tweeted the following on the name change:
Thank you @WWEUniverse for using your voice. What remains most important is that the “@WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal” will be a historic match and is part of @WWE’s unwavering commitment to our Women’s Division. #WomensEvolution #ChangeTheName
