Braun Strowman had his pick of anybody in the WWE locker room for his match at WrestleMania against Cesaro and Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Champions.
But instead of choosing a wrestler, he picked a child from out of the crowd.

Strowman and “Nicholas” went on to win the tag titles, with Strowman doing all of the work and pinning Cesaro with a Running Powerslam.
While it definitely wasn’t what the fans at home were expecting, they still weren’t happy about it.
Glad he won the title but this storyline is horrible. I am not 10 years old.
You pick the biggest, strongest guy, the guy who pulls down a studio set with a grappling hook…just to be apart of an extremely PG Storyline..#PGERA #PGERA #BraunStrowman #Wrestlemania #Mania pic.twitter.com/NmIxEF0fHT

I don’t know what wrestling is anymore.
Braun Strowman is tag team champions with a child that I’m pretty sure he stole.

It was reported after the show that Nicholas was not a random fan. The 10-year-old is the son of WWE referee John Cone, who has been with the company since 2006.
