#1 Triple H pushed Killian Dain but Vince McMahon did not
The brainchild of Triple H, the SAnitY faction was originally supposed to consist of Sawyer Fulton, Solomon Crowe and Marcus Louis, but Fulton was left as the only member of the proposed group after the other two Superstars left WWE.
In October 2016, Fulton joined forces with Alexander Wolfe, Eric Young and Nikki Cross to appear on television as SAnitY for the first time. However, Killian Dain was later introduced as a member of the group, replacing the injured Fulton.

Along with his fellow faction members, Dain thrived in SAnitY and it looked for a long time as though Triple H’s dominant NXT group would go on to achieve similar success under Vince McMahon on the main roster.
But, as is often the case when NXT Superstars join RAW and/or SmackDown, Dain & Co. were unable to get involved in a meaningful storyline in their first few weeks on the blue brand.
Throughout Dain’s year as part of the SmackDown roster, he only won two matches – both multi-man tag team matches at PPVs – and he failed to record any victories on weekly television.
