Killian Dain was released from his WWE contract a short while ago. The release came days after his wife and RAW Superstar Nikki Cross debuted a new superhero gimmick on the Red brand. Dain signed a deal with the company in 2016 and enjoyed a successful stint as a member of SAnitY, a stable that also included Cross.

The stable was disbanded during the 2019 WWE Superstar Shakeup. Nikki Cross did fine for herself on the main roster and won the Women's Tag Team titles with Alexa Bliss on two occasions. Her new superhero gimmick garnered quite a mixed reaction from the WWE Universe but Dain soon cleared the air and revealed that it was her idea:

"She had an idea and saw it brought to life. Very excited to see whats next! Go go Nikki!!!!" tweeted Killian Dain.

Nikki Cross/A.S.H. is having so much fun, it’s infectious. #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/2313aqPqEC

Cross seems to be enjoying her portrayal of a superhero on WWE RAW and one wonders what's in store for her in the coming months. As for Dain, he's an incredible talent who would be a good fit for any promotion that gets its hands on him.
