Top 5: Potential Braun Strowman Tag Team Partners
Braun Strowman is truly a Monster Among Men. He’s capable of beating just about anybody WWE can throw in front of him. I’d say he can beat many WWE Superstars on the roster even in a two on one scenario. He’d stand a really good chance against lower-rung teams like Titus Worldwide & even teams like Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan that are prone to disagreement. He’s beaten as many as three “local competitors,” and he did come out on top in the Tag Team Battle Royal.
However, beating Sheamus & Cesaro is a whole different ball of wax. After all, they don’t just set the bar: THEY ARE THE BAR. They’re two of WWE’s most capable competitors & have formed a nearly unbeatable duo since former Raw General Manager Mick Foley put them together. The Raw Tag Team Champions are incredibly tough for two men to handle. As massive & destructive as Braun Strowman is, he’s going to need some help at WrestleMania to emerge with the championship.
Here are my top 5 people that Braun Strowman should enlist as a tag team partner.
5. Curt Hawkins

You have to give Hawkins credit for trying. He’s still looking for that elusive victory, and teaming with Braun seems like a really good way to get one. He is a former WWE Tag Team Champion alongside Zack Ryder. Certainly, Hawkins getting the big win alongside Strowman would be his lifetime WrestleMania Moment.
The problem? He never wins! If Braun really wants a challenge maybe he’ll go this route, but I feel like it’d end up with Hawkins getting murder death killed.
4. Bray Wyatt

The last time we saw Bray, he disappeared into the Lake of Reincarnation. I think it would make sense to put that over at least for a week or two. Another thing that would make sense is Bray re-joining forces with a former member of his Family. What better way to get back at Matt Hardy for attempting to drown him in a lake than by winning the Raw Tag Team Championships? Broken Matt & Brother Nero would certainly have something to say about it.
Another note in favor of this is that Strowman & Wyatt travel together anyway. They wouldn’t have to change riding partners.
3. Rey Mysterio

We’re not sure if Rey will be medically cleared to compete by the time WrestleMania rolls around due to a biceps injury. If he can go, a teaming with Strowman would make some sense. As we saw in the Mixed Match Challenge, Braun likes teaming with smaller competitors. A tag team run would be a good thing for Rey as he enters the twilight of his career. I don’t know how they would mesh in the long run, but it would get a good reaction from the WrestleMania crowd.
2. The Big Show

— “The Big Show” Paul Wight (@WWETheBigShow) March 6, 2018
Reports of Show’s imminent retirement aside, the World’s Largest Athlete looks like he’s preparing to come back for something. The last time we saw him on WWE television he was on the losing end of a feud with Strowman. That could easily be smoothed over by Show saying that Braun earned his respect after their meetings in the ring. The idea of The Braun Show would definitely strike fear in the hearts of the entire Raw tag team division.
1. James Ellsworth
July 25, 2016 was a monumental date in the career of both Braun Strowman & James Ellsworth. It was when Ellsworth was booked as a local competitor against Strowman, who was in the beginning phases of his singles push. The match couldn’t have gone better for both men.
Strowman looked absolutely dominant & impressed observers who up until that point hadn’t thought much of his prospects. Ellsworth did such a tremendous job that he ended up getting another booking a few weeks later on SmackDown, and eventually worked his way into a full time gig for a year. He’s been gone since November, but there’s no reason to think that he won’t pop up on WWE television again someday. Everybody comes back eventually.
Braun Strowman has had many people help him along the way. What better way to pay one of them back than bring them back to WWE as his tag team partner? Any man with two hands has a fighting chance, but two men with hands have an even better one.
Who should Braun Strowman choose as his tag team partner? Let us know on the Twitter @stevecook84 or @theCHAIRSHOTcom, and mae sure to #UseYourHead.

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
