WWE News: Young Bucks sent a message to Nicholas, the new Raw tag team champion
What's the story?
The WWE Raw tag team Championship scene saw a sea-change take place when Braun Strowman chose his mystery tag team partner at WrestleMania 34. The wrestling universe was stunned when he announced that one of the members of the crowd would be his partner.
He then chose a kid named Nicholas after walking through the crowd and brought him out to the ring to be his partner.
After he won the tag team championship, Nicholas became the youngest WWE tag team champion of all time. The Young Bucks noted this and sent a message to the young champion through their Twitter.
In case you didn't know...
Braun Strowman made a surprise appearance in a Battle Royal on Raw which was to determine the number one contender for the Raw tag team championship. He won the match single-handedly but was told by Raw General Manager Kurt Angle that he would need a tag team partner to compete against The Bar for the Raw Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania.
He refused to disclose the identity of his partner and even came out dressed as Brains Strowman. This fueled rumours all over the internet regarding the identity of his mystery partner, with fans talking about Samoa Joe, Elias, James Ellsworth and even Alexa Bliss.
The heart of the matter
When Strowman won the match, he became the Raw tag team Champion, alongside his partner Nicholas. The identity of Nicholas has since emerged where he was confirmed as WWE referee, John Cone's son.

The Young Bucks took to Twitter to react to the emergence of the young tag team Champion, Nicholas. Nick Jackson posted a photo of Nicholas and Braun Strowman with the caption, "We finally have some competition."
His brother, Matt Jackson, meanwhile reacted in a cruder manner, posting a GIF of The Young Bucks hitting a Superkick on a child, in what appears to be a direct message to Raw tag team champion Nicholas.
What's next?
This week's Monday Night Raw will see the fallout of WrestleMania 34, and it will be interesting to see how WWE authorities deal with having a young fan as a tag team champion.
Author's take
It was amazing to see Nicholas with the title as it surely made his night. Any WWE fan would love to be in the shoes of Nicholas and the decision of Braun Strowman to partner up with a child on the 'Grandest Stage of them all' does a lot for the image of the 'Monster Among Men'.
