Though best known as a tag team, TMDK has also been a stable, which included, in addition to Nicholls and Haste, fellow Australians Jonah (formerly Jonah Rock, now Bronson Reed) and Slex.[7] TMDK has also been said to stand for "Torture, Murder, Destroy, Kill".[8]
While in 2016, Nicholls and Veryzer signed with WWE and were assigned to its developmental territory NXT, the stable kept working on the independent circuit as TMDK until 2019.[9] Nicholls and Veryzer were renamed Nick Miller and Shane Thorne, while their tag team was renamed TM-61 and later, The Mighty. However, the team would disband in 2018 following Nicholls' release.[10]
