Sheamus may have his hands full when a former RETRIBUTION member decides that it's finally time for him to unmask and remind the world of his talent. This gentleman is Shane Thorne, whom you may know as Slapjack.

If anyone has caught him in WWE NXT, he/she is certainly aware of just how incredibly talented Slapjack is! Unfortunately, the RETRIBUTION gimmick was doomed to fail from the very start and he never managed to reach his fullest potential as a member.

Much like T-Bar and Mace, Shane Thorne could also take his mask off and answer Sheamus' open challenge.

Even if he comes up short after a competitive showing against the WWE United States Champion- Sheamus, it would still be a great way to remind the world exactly what Thorne is capable of. Does anyone remember the spectacular matches he had as a member of TM-61?

No gimmick at all may still be an improvement over having to don the persona of a RETRIBUTION member.
