As Strowman's partner at WM 34
Now as the dirtsheets report it, this may well have been the original plan for Bobby Lashley when he signed on with the WWE.
Perhaps fearing that the fans were already on to it, the WWE went with the double swerve and had a 10-year old Nicholas partner Strowman...who pretty much single-handedly obliterated Cesaro and Sheamus and destroyed all the credibility that the Bar had built up for months.
Now if the WWE did want the Bar to put over Strowman and his partner, it would have espoused so much more believability for them to stare at the lights for the team of Strowman and Lashley.
It would have given Lashley the perfect high-profile platform for return, Strowman would have won the Tag Titles without making the former Champions (and the whole Tag Team division on Raw by extension) like a joke and the crowd would have been happy that the babyfaces got one over the heels.
Really, there wasn't much downside to this at all.
