Intrdoucing: TM61, formely known as The Mighty Don’t Kneel. (Link if not working on mobile).
Shane Haste and Mikey Nicholls better known as The Mighty Don’t Kneel (TMDK) came in with big hype when they signed with WWE NXT a couple months ago. The Australian duo had traveled around the globe and won a number of championships before coming over to the WWE. It appears that they are already making their way onto NXT TV.
Th team has been re-packaged as TM61. Their names have also been changed to Shane Thorne and Nick Miller. The team explained their name as the T standing for Thorne, the M standing for Miller in TM61. The 61 is a throwback to their home country of Australia as it is the dialing code for the country. It comes together as TM61, which I think their intention was to pay homage to their old name (TMDK) in a small way. Too bad they weren’t able to keep their original name as it sounds pretty badass in my opinion!
The duo will make their NXT TV debuts later this month. They face off against Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano. We won’t spoil it for you here but it was sad to be a great match between both teams. Looks like this tag team could make their mark on the NXT Tag Team division very soon!
Let us know what you think of their re-packaging and if you are excited to see them compete on NXT TV moving forward!
