Braun Strowman doesn’t take criticism of his WrestleMania 34 win to heart.
At WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans, LA, Braun Strowman was set to face Sheamus and Cesaro for the Raw Tag Team Championships. On the day, Strowman decided to find his partner in the crowd, and he chose ten year old Nicholas, son of WWE official John Cone.
Strowman demolished The Bar in quick order, making Nicholas the youngest Tag Team Champion in WWE history. The next day, the duo relinquished their titles as Nicholas had to return to school.
Speaking in a new interview with Sportskeeda, Strowman commented on his excitement that Nicholas now has his own WWE action figure.
“You wanna know what’s crazy? Nicholas is like six-five now. Everyone says it’s funny. The cool thing is I just saw one of the sites that does all our action figures, Ringside Collectibles or something like that, there’s a Nicholas action figure coming out. I’m really excited for that. It’s neat to see.”
“It Was A Special Moment” – Braun Strowman On Winning WWE Gold With Nicholas
The WrestleMania 34 bout isn’t always well-received by fans, as many believe it was detrimental to the WWE tag team division at the time. However, Strowman pointed out that the moment was a special one for Nicholas, and that WWE is all about creating magical experiences.
“Imagine being that kid and going back to school that Monday after that happened. What an unbelievable experience. It was really fun doing that. Some people didn’t like it because I guess the violence wasn’t there. But if you understand the whole message and the premise of what we do is WWE, that is WWE. It was a special moment.”
Strowman called this unique partnership an “opportunity” and says he sees it as a great accomplishment.
“I’ve been with so many random tag people. It’s fun, it’s an opportunity. Going out there on The Grandest Stage of Them All and plucking a 10-year-old kid out of a crowd of 78,000 people, and then putting the work to Sheamus and Cesaro and picking up the win and being my first Tag Team Championships, yeah, that’s a feather in my cap.”
