The Storyline: As any giant bad-ass might, Braun Strowman decided to enter a number one contendership Battle Royal to decide who would face The Bar at 'Mania 34 all on his own. After winning, Braun played mind games with the Raw Tag-Team Champs and wouldn't reveal who his tag partner for New Orleans was.

It ended up being a 10-year kid, but that's not the main problem here.

Why It Sucked: Strowman has had one hell of a 2018 overall. He's won the Greatest Royal Rumble, become Mr. "Monster In The Bank" and blossomed into one of WWE's top babyfaces. All that good stuff doesn't alter the fact creative had nothing worthwhile for him at WrestleMania, the biggest show of the year.

Seeing Braun dress up as "Brains Strowman" and make light of challenging Sheamus and Cesaro (who, until that point, had been presented as one of the best tag-teams in the world) dragged. The whole thing was a hollow excuse to squeeze Strowman onto the 'Mania card.
