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

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.
