Braun Strowman remained over as hell heading into WrestleMania 34, where the planned main event was between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. It had been in the works for over a year but perhaps, WWE should have been more flexible due to Strowman's rise in popularity.

The aforementioned defeat to Lesnar at No Mercy 2017 was damaging for The Monster Among Men, who recovered with a full-blown face turn. He continued to pull off incredible feats of strength on RAW, becoming a special attraction on the Red brand.

However, instead of being included in the Universal Title mix for WrestleMania 34, Strowman headed into the event feuding with RAW Tag Team Champions, The Bar. He was set to take them on, alongside a mystery partner. After some hype regarding it, the partner was revealed to be a 10-year-old boy named Nicholas.

Yes. Braun Strowman, one of WWE's biggest babyfaces at the time, spent WrestleMania 34 winning the Tag Team Championship with a child. It was an unnecessary move that devalued the titles, while Strowman felt more like a comedy character than a main event star.
