10 Things Nobody Wants To Admit About WWE WrestleMania 34

Speaking of Braun Strowman, the big man doesn't need a title around his waist right now.

It's vital that WWE get their decision-making right here. The Bar have become one of the best teams on the roster, so it's going to be tricky for creative to find an out; pinning Strowman is out of the question, beating Braun's mystery partner would make them look like a loser from the off and stripping the belts from Sheamus and Cesaro makes little sense in the long run.

If WWE call up someone like Lars Sullivan from NXT to be Braun's partner in New Orleans, they risk diluting Strowman's appeal too. He works because he's a standalone bad-ass who wreaks havoc on Raw every week, and there's hardly a clamour from fans to see him buddy up with anybody.

The best case scenario is that this one ends in DQ. If Strowman ends up a Raw Tag-Team Champion just for the sake of it, it'll do more harm than good to his organic rise to the top. Save that first title stint for the Universal or WWE Championship later in the year, please.
