Killian Dain made his debut in WWE as part of Sanity

In 2016, Killian Dain made his WWE television debut on NXT as part of Sanity. The faction originally featured Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Swayer Fulton and Nikki Cross. However, after Fulton was sidelined with an injury, Dain was offered his spot in the group which he gladly accepted.

Sanity saw great success in WWE during their initial run as Wolfe and Young even went on to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. The group was even called-up to the main roster together in 2018 but was disbanded during the 2019 Superstar Shake-up after Young was drafted to RAW and Wolfe went to NXT UK.

Zain ensures his work is reliable and accurate by verifying the information through multiple credible sources. He aims to provide ample context and details in his articles, creating a pleasant reading experience.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
