There was a lot of intrigue ahead of Braun Strowman's tag team partner announcement for his match against champions Sheamus and Cesaro and the fact that we had to wait until Wrestlemania made everyone believe it was going to be someone very big.
Would it be Samoa Joe? Neville? Big Cass? Rey Mysterio perhaps? Nope, The Monster Among Men decided to pick one of the 78,000 fans in attendance at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, trudging into the crowd and picking a 10-year old kid called Nicholas.
Loading…
If that wasn't crazy enough, the world's newest tag team emerged victorious to win the belts - Nicholas tagging in and immediately tagging back out before Strowman hit his powerslam for the win.

Just when you thought you had seen everything in the weird and wonderful world of professional wrestling/sports entertainment.
The crowd absolutely loved it, while social media produced some stellar reactions to the most bizarre Wrestlemania moment you could ever think of.
Stupid kid #wrestlemania
