Wrestlemania: Braun Strowman Tag Team Partner's Identity Revealed - Report

The monster among little kids.

2 Comments

One of the most exciting highlights of Wrestlemania 34 was the reveal of Braun Strowman's tag team partner. After teasing that he could win the match himself, real-life Looney Tunes character Strowman picked a child from the Wrestlemania audience named Nicholas to stand in as his partner. In the end, the duo was able to win the match and claim the Tag Team Championships from The Bar.

Was Nicholas just some lucky kid plucked out of the crowd, though? The answer is no. While Nicholas is a child with no formal wrestling training, he does have a connection to WWE. According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Nicholas is the son of WWE referee John Cone. The ref even posed for a photo with his son and Strowman backstage after the match.
