10 WWE Stars Who Only Worked One Televised Match

No, that's not some dodgy Photoshop effort. Yes, it is genuinely a terrified 10-year old child going up against wrestling machine Cesaro at WrestleMania 34. Amazingly, said kid ended up becoming one half of the new Raw Tag-Team Champions.

As Taz once crowed regularly on SmackDown, "Who'd-a-thunk it?".

Nicholas Cone, son of WWE ref John, was handpicked to be Braun Strowman's tag-team partner against The Bar at 'Mania. It was played for laughs, obviously, and was supposed to put over the idea that a monster like Braun didn't need anybody to watch his back. Unfortunately, the bout also succeeded in making Sheamus and Cesaro look like inept fools.

Lil' Nick would never defend his newly-won prize. It didn't take long for him and Strowman to vacate the titles (thus making a mockery of the decision to even book a title change in the first place), and he retired with a 1-0 record that'd earn serious bragging rights at school.
