Braun Strowman’s Best Choices for WrestleMania 34 Tag Team Partner

Why not book Elias as Strowman’s tag team partner? Elias is over with the crowd. He’s good in the ring. He’s very entertaining and he has chemistry with Braun. It’s a pairing that fans wouldn’t automatically expect and it’s one that could definitely work. Strowman’s character would obviously want no part of it but he may change his tune if Elias pitched the idea to him in a song. Strowman would knock him out of course, but he could accept the offer.

Elias is another man that fought for his spot in the company but he did not have the benefit of Strowman-style booking. Elias has earned his place by just doing what he does best. He’s confident in his abilities and he knows what works for him. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the red-hot Strowman may be exactly what Elias needs to reach the next level.

What about Big Cass? Colin Cassady has been on the shelf since August of 2017 with a torn ACL. He was believed to be out of action for nine months. WrestleMania puts him at nearly the eight month mark. Is it possible that he could be the man to step up for Braun?

Big Cass is a man that was on the way up in WWE until his injury. Cass and Enzo Amore had split up and fans felt Cass was headed for the top in the company. He’s a big man like Strowman but he’s a few years younger and he’s got a great look. His upside is definitely enough to keep him on the fast track once he returns. He may not be a main event caliber star yet but he could get there. If he’s ready and he can go, why not book him with The Monster Among Men?

Some believe Bray Wyatt is a great fit. After all, Wyatt is the man that introduced WWE to Braun when Strowman arrived on the main roster. They have a history together and they could pair up well as a tag team. But unless Wyatt emerges from Matt Hardy’s Lake of Reincarnation as the same old Bray, this is likely not going to happen.

There’s just too much potential for Wyatt to move ahead with something new. The same could be said of Rey Mysterio, who many feel would be a great partner for Strowman because it would be something completely different. Although Rey has seemingly moved on with ventures outside of WWE, he perhaps could be the best choice for Braun.

But fans cannot forget about the other giant. The Big Show has not been in a WWE ring since September of 2017. His contract reportedly ended in February of 2018 but he’s still attached to the company in another capacity. What are the chances that the Superstar who gave his big man spot to Strowman returns for a tag team title run? If he did, this would be the most dominant tag team in WWE.

At this point it may not matter who the company pairs with Strowman because Braun is so hot. He could walk into WrestleMania, destroy both Cesaro and Sheamus, and then leave with the Raw Tag Team Championships. But that would be a disservice to The Bar and the work they’ve done over the past year. Of course anyone that does tag with Braun would share his spotlight and that would be a great thing for the Superstar in question.

Despite what direction WWE goes, the fact is that Strowman is a legitimate top guy just waiting to happen. The main stage may be a bit crowded at the moment but that will not last forever. Braun will have his run at the top and he will be a main event mainstay for years to come. But until then, he’s going to enjoy the ride. The fans will as well.
