Eric Young's move to Raw has led to the end of SAnitY.

The notorious faction originated in NXT in 2016 and originally consisted of Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Nikki Cross, and Sawyer Fulton.

Fulton was later replaced by Killian Dain and the group was called up to the main roster in last year's Superstar Shakeup. Nikki Cross remained in NXT for a while before making her way to the SmackDown roster in November 2018.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
