New Raw tag team champ Nicholas has apparently been around the business for a long time ... because he's referee John Cone's son.

For those who missed it, Braun's surprise partner was a "random" kid he picked from the crowd and after the show we received a few tips saying he's Cone's real-life child.

After doing some social media sleuthing, we've confirmed that to be true.

Check out Strowman's interview with Nicholas after the show.
