On October 23, 2015, Reno Scum defeated Tease 'N Sleaze (Jacob Austin Young and Joey Ryan) in the semifinals and in the same night they advanced to the finals losing to The Bollywood Boyz for the GFW Tag Team Championship.

On February 27, 2016, Reno Scum made their Ring of Honor televised debut losing to former ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe).

Reno Scum made a one-off return during ROH's March 16, 2019 television tapings at Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall in Las Vegas, losing to The Bouncers.

Impact Wrestling (2017, 2019–2021)

On the March 9, 2017 edition of Impact Wrestling, Reno Scum defeated the DCC (Kingston and Bram) in their debut match for Impact Wrestling. Reno Scum was unsuccessful at winning the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Championship in a fatal four way tag team match which was won by The Latin American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz). On April 19, TNA announced that Adam Thornstowe suffered a torn bicep injury. On October 27, 2017 after months of inactivity it was reported that they had been officially released from Impact Wrestling.

Reno Scum returned as enhancement talent putting over the team of KM and Fallah Bahh in a pair of matches during Impact's February 15–17, 2019 television tapings at Las Vegas' Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall. The first encounter aired on March 1 and saw Reno Scum turn heel in a post-match attack on their opponents. This set up a rematch, which aired on March 15. In a March 20, 2019 Nerd Corp interview, Thornstowe stated that Reno Scum have not signed a contract with Impact, but hoped that the two could be back full-time with the Company by this summer.

The duo next appeared at Unbreakable, an August 2, 2019 Impact Plus special from Esports Arena in Santa Ana, California, in a triple threat Impact World Tag Team Championship match against Willie Mack and Rich Swann and defending champions The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander). The latter retained as Thornstowe took the pin-fall loss.
