Hailing from Australia, Shane Thorne participated in a WWE tryout camp in 2015 and was signed to a contract the next year. He was paired with Mikey Nicholls and the duo was dubbed as TMDK. The two Superstars lost their debut match to Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. They had a strong showing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in 2016 and were defeated by Authors of Pain in the finals of the tournament.
Thorne was called up to WWE RAW in March 2020 and was featured in several tag team matches alongside Brendan Vink. It looked like the duo was on their way to form a stable with WWE veteran MVP, but things didn't work out as planned and Thorne was soon relegated to wrestling on WWE Main Event. He has competed in 30 matches this year and has registered 25 losses. With a win% of 16.7, Thorne has won five matches in 2020 and hasn't been seen on TV ever since his loss to Humberto Carrillo on Main Event.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
