Former RETRIBUTION member Shane Thorne has admitted that he will back up Brock Lesnar following his loss to Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel. Taking to Twitter, Thorne asked Lesnar not to worry, as he promised to back him up the next time around.
At Crown Jewel, Brock Lesnar failed to win the WWE Universal Championship from The Tribal Chief in an incredible match between the pair.
In the aftermath of the main event of Crown Jewel, several members of the WWE Universe and other WWE Superstars took to social media to react to the outcome of the match.
One of the more interesting reactions was from Thorne, who tweeted out the following for The Beast Incarnate.
A few months ago, Thorne was part of the RETRIBUTION faction alongside the likes of Mustafa Ali and others. Thorne was known as Slapjack while being a part of the faction.
Following the end of RETRIBUTION's tenure, Thorne was off WWE programming for months. However, he recently made his return to SmackDown and competed in a dark match on the July 16 episode, under his real name.
