In the build-up to WrestleMania 34, Braun Strowman decided to become involved in a tag team Battle Royale on RAW, despite not having a partner. At the time, WWE RAW Tag Team Champions The Bar had claimed that they had defeated every single tag team on their brand. They added they were ready for a new team to challenge them.

Even though Strowman didn't have a tag team partner, he emerged as the winner of the match. Kurt Angle, who was the RAW General Manager at the time, told Strowman that he would receive a shot at the titles at WrestleMania 34, if he had a partner in time for the event.

At WrestleMania 34, Strowman did indeed get his title match and waited until he, Cesaro and Sheamus were in the ring to reveal his partner... a fan from the crowd. The fan in question was 10 year-old Nicholas, who ended up becoming the youngest-ever champion in WWE history after Strowman performed a running power slam on Cesaro.

The unlikely champions relinquished the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships a day later, due to Nicholas not being to defend the titles while still being a schoolboy.
