No, not the character (played by Jim Neidhart) Vince McMahon created after discovering the old Abbott and Costello routine several decades after everybody else, but a bonafide mystery partner.

It would be nice to see Curt Hawkins receive the nod and cap off the losing streak gimmick, but he's around all year long, so that isn't happening. At time of writing, we've no idea who Braun's dance partner might be, and thus we've no idea of the dance's potential.

If it's Rey Mysterio, as reported by Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso, who really wants to make Rey Mysterio happen, expect a spot of short fun boasting a choice spread of diverse, high-flying/power move action.

If it's James Ellsworth, expect broad but no less welcome comedy in a touching spot of continuity.

If it's Samoa Joe, expect the umpteenth tag team break up come springtime.

If it's The Big Show, expect it go on first, and not be particularly good.

If it's Bray Wyatt, we'll at least know that Braun Strowman can't get everything over.

Predicted Star Rating: ?
