#2. Nikki A.S.H and former WWE Superstar Killian Dain

Nikki A.S.H. was known as Nikki Cross during her time on WWE's developmental brand, where she debuted alongside her real-life partner. Nikki and Killian Dane were two-fifths of Sanity, who debuted as a wrecking crew in NXT back in 2016.

Alongside Alexander Wolfe, Eric Young and Sawyer Fulton the stars were able to make a name for themselves in NXT before leaving Cross behind on their main roster call-up.

The company decided that Nikki had a few things left to accomplish in NXT before she was promoted, so the real-life couple were split. Just seven months later, Cross was promoted to the main roster on the RAW brand, whilst her Sanity partners remained on SmackDown.

Dain later returned to NXT as a singles wrestler, whilst Wolfe headed to NXT UK and became part of Imperium. Eric Young remained on the main roster until his release in April 2020.

Killian Dain was released from the company on June 25th and was closely followed by Alexander Wolfe. This leaves Cross as the only remaining member of the team.
