WWE wrestler Brendan Vink has undergone a name change.
He revealed on Twitter Sunday he will now be known as Tony Modra. The name is likely an ode to retired Australian football player Anthony ‘Tony’ Modra.

Vink signed a deal with WWE In 2019, and is known for his work alongside Shane Throne (now known as Slapjack in Retribution).
Him and Throne had a short stint on Monday Night RAW over the spring, aligning themselves with MVP.
