In the lead-up to WrestleMania 34, Braun Strowman singlehandedly won a tag team battle royal to secure a shot at the then reigning Raw Tag Team Champions The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus). However, then-Raw GM Kurt Angle said that Strowman will have to find a partner to face the Tag Champs at Mania.
At Mania, Strowman picked up a young kid named Nicolas from the crowd stands and then the two went on to capture the Tag Team titles. The moment quickly went viral with fans worldwide reacting to the wholesome clip.
Notably, Nicolas is John Cone’s son, who has been with WWE as a referee and also works in the corporate role of senior manager of talent relations for the company.
With his appearance and title win, Nicolas became the youngest person to compete at WrestleMania. Regarding his age, the commentary team during the match noted that Nicolas is 10 years old.

However, during the same segment with GM Kurt Angle, Strowman and Nicolas also relinquished the title, due to scheduling conflict, mainly as Nicolas was still attending school.
