10 Modern-Era Title Reigns That Should Have Never Happened

It's unclear if WWE thought that Braun Strowman and a fan named Nicholas winning the tag titles would be heartwarming, humorous, or make mainstream headlines.

As it would turn it out, the angle was neither touching nor funny. The only thing this reign did was make their opponents, Cesaro and Sheamus, look like fools.

Having one of WWE's top tag teams lose what was essentially a handicap match at WrestleMania was terrible booking. It didn't make Strowman seem like more of monster, it made The Bar look incredibly weak, and the title run itself went nowhere, as the belts were vacated soon after.

The cringe-worthy match where Strowman and Nicholas captured the titles, is sure to be mentioned among the worst WrestleMania moments for years to come.
