With WWE WrestleMania only days away, there are still a few questions about the card for the Show of Shows. One of the biggest questions is who will team up with the massive Braun Strowman?
Strowman has had a great year with some very big matches and even bigger moments. He has become one of the biggest attractions the WWE has to offer, so when it looked like he did not have a match set for WrestleMania with less than a month to go it was shocking.
Then with only a few weeks to go Braun entered himself into and won the tag team Battle Royal to face The Bar for the tag team titles at Mania. The problem is Braun doesn't have a tag partner and apparently that is a requirement for the tag team titles.
Let's look at 5 possible candidates to team up with the monster amongst men at Mania.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Bobby Lashley
Over the past month or so there has been a lot of speculation and rumors about Bobby Lashley's return to WWE. If this is true, imagine Lashley combining forces with Braun Strowman.
They would be one of, if not the strongest team of all time. A physically intimidating team for sure. Also the surprise factor of bringing back Lashley at WrestleMania would be tremendous, and we all know the grandest stage of them all is the perfect place for big surprises.
On the other hand, this paring is a bit of a long shot. Nothing has been confirmed with Lashley and WWE, so who knows if he is an actual possibility for Strowman's partner.
Even if Lashley returns to WWE who knows if he will be at this year's WrestleMania. This could be a very exciting team with the popularity of Braun, and the excitement of a Bobby Lashley return. Too bad it's not very likely.
#4 James Ellsworth
OK, this one might seem a little far fetched but just listen. James Ellsworth was last seen being embarrassed on a routine basis by Carmella and pretty much the entire SmackDown Live Women's roster, but he made his WWE debut on Raw.
His opponent, Braun Strowman. Strowman beat him up so bad that it made Ellsworth famous. Having these two team up would bring it all full circle.
Things could go either way for a team of Ellsworth and Strowman. While some may see Ellsworth as a sign of a Strowman loss, they could just as easily win.
Ellsworth would make it very easy for a Strowman loss and for the Bar to retain because everyone expects Ellsworth to lose. However, Strowman could pick Ellsworth to prove he could win the tag titles with anyone. A win with Ellsworth as your partner would certainly do that.
#3 Big Cass
Big Cass has been on the shelf for months now. When we last saw Cass he was in a rivalry with Big Show and Enzo Amore. Big Show may or may not wrestle again someday and Enzo is gone for good, so Cass needs a new direction when he comes back.
A team with Braun Strowman might be the perfect fresh start. Strowman has become very over with the fans and maybe some of that popularity will rub off on Big Cass if they team up.
Although Strowman and Cass would make a team of monstrous proportions, it might not be the best fit. We never really got to see Cass' personality before he got injured, so it's hard to tell if he would work well with the monster amongst men. Maybe the WWE will chance it and put these two together as it would be a big way to reintroduce Big Cass
#2 Bray Wyatt
You might think Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman might be a Wyatt family reunion, but not so fast. Keep in mind Bray Wyatt has been deleted at the hands of Matt Hardy.
Many people think that we might see a new persona of sorts for Bray Wyatt, maybe we see the new Bray Wyatt team up with Strowman at WrestleMania.
On the other hand Strowman was intimidating with the Wyatt family, but he was nowhere near the superstar or monster that he is now.
Maybe teaming up with Wyatt might just put Strowman back where he was rather than progressing his career and character, but putting the two of them together might advance both superstar's careers.
#1 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe may not be known as a tag team wrestler, but he does have experience. In NXT he won the Dusty Rhodes classic along with Finn Balor. The point being he can be thrown together into a tag team and still be successful.
A team of Joe and Braun could be the most physically dominating team of all time. While this paring is not currently feasible because of Samoa Joe being out due to injury, it still could be a big WrestleMania surprise.
A Samoa Joe return on its own could be big, a return at WrestleMania would be even bigger, but with Strowman's popularity this potential team could be even bigger yet for Samoa Joe. With the combined popularity of both superstars this could be a team the fans can get behind.
