#3 Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman tease a match on this week's WWE RAW

Shane McMahon announced Adam Pearce as Braun Strowman's tag team partner on WWE RAW. Many had predicted Shane O'Mac to reveal himself as the partner, but this was a welcome development.

Pearce was initially supposed to wrestle Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble 2021, but WWE did not go ahead with that plan. A former five-time NWA Champion, Pearce is no rookie in the squared circle.

The resulting match for the RAW Tag Team Championship against The Hurt Business thankfully didn't end in a title change. Just when The Monster Among Men delivered a running powerbomb to Shelton Benjamin, McMahon asked him to tag Pearce in and let him secure the win.

The WWE official took forever to come in, and when he did, Benjamin quickly rolled him up to retain the titles. Post-match, Strowman was furious with both Shane O'Mac and Pearce. After tonight's developments, it increasingly feels like we are towards a WrestleMania 37 match between Braun Strowman and Shane McMahon.

While it doesn't sound exciting on paper, the two can have a fun little bout which maximizes the two performer's strengths - Shane O'Mac's daredevilry and Strowman's inhuman power.
