WWE NXT will have a new dish with the birth of “Sanity”. It turns out that the hints sent out in recent weeks prepared the way for a new stable in the developmental circuit, led no less by former TNA champion Eric Young.

Young officially returned to the WWE NXT scene following his April 2016 appearance. He faced off against Samoa Joe in a non-title match and has not been spotted ever since, Daily DDT reported.

This follows weeks of speculations on Young’s status with the WWE. There was word that the former TNA champion had indeed signed up, linking him to be “Sanity”.

However all that was cleared up at WWE NXT tapings held at Full Sail University. The revelation took place following a Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic match involving Bobby Roode and Tye Dillinger going up against Wolfe and Fulton.

Worth noting is that Wolfe and Fulton were accompanied by masked individuals. The female turned out to be Nikki Storm and the other was Young. Roode was nowhere when “Sanity” pounded on Dillinger, abandoning him during the match, PW Mania reported.


The formation and revelation of “Sanity” should be an interesting addition to WWE NXT. The last time that the alliances were formed was the assembly of Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Emma and Dana Brooke. All of those female stars are now making strides on the regular shows.

For “Sanity” it will be interesting how this faction will help the members individually. Eric Young is a proven draw though he has yet to establish that in the WWE. Wolfe and Fulton have been regular mid-card wrestlers so this development will likely provide them a big push.

Nikki Storm is a fresh signee so her involvement in “Sanity” could help establish her character all the more. If successful, she may eventually be lined up to feud with WWE NXT Women’s champion, Asuka in the future.

Individually, the members of “Sanity” is expected to gain so it will be interesting how the faction pans p and which stars they will be targeting.

The video below more or less gives WWE NXT fans and idea of the things “Sanity” will be rendering on future shows.
