If you watched this weeks episode of NXT, you might have noticed that Shane Thorne and Nick Miller were not being referred to as their tag team name, ‘TM61’. The duo defeated Mike Hughley and Robbie Grand on the show.

It does look like the tag team has received an official name change from WWE.
According to WWE’s website, they are now known as ‘The Mighty’. This is a shorter version of their old name, ‘The Mighty Don’t Kneel’. Here is an excerpt from WWE.com which shows the name change.
“The Mighty def. Mike Hughley & Robbie Grand
Shane Thorne & Nick Miller’s nasty new attitude continued to result in victory, as the audacious Aussies aggressively dismantled Mike Hughley & Robbie Grand. After using a variety of underhanded maneuvers, including fishhooks and illegal blows, Thorne & Miller scored the win when Miller pushed Grand back-first into a sucker punch by Thorne.
Following the dominant display, Thorne & Miller crowed about their recent success, called out several of the black-and-yellow brand’s top duos (including War Raiders, Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch and NXT Tag Team Champions Undisputed ERA), and said that all other teams should kneel before them and call them “The Mighty.”
