#3. WWE released Nikki A.S.H.'s husband Killian Dain in June 2021

Killian Dain and Nikki A.S.H. (formerly known as Nikki Cross) got a push in WWE when they became members of Sanity in NXT. The two worked well together as part of the faction and started to grow closer. Dain moved to the main roster as part of Sanity while Nikki moved to SmackDown separately. The two continued to compete on the main roster separately.

In January 2019, Dain and Nikki married. While Nikki started to get a push on the main roster, Dain did not receive the same treatment. He was moved back to WWE NXT for some time where he competed with Drake Maverick. The Beast of Belfast became one of the many superstars that were released by WWE on June 25, 2021.

After Dain’s departure, Nikki won the RAW Women’s Championship for the first time in her career. The two had many ups and downs during their tenure in WWE. However, they’ve supported and stuck by each other’s side throughout. It'll be interesting to see where Dain ends up next.
