Top SmackDown Rumors: Management 'p***d off' with 6-time champion's behaviour, Rollins' real-life heat with major star, Reigns' SummerSlam plan (11th July)

#1 Former WWE Superstar Killian Dane reveals why Sanity failed on SmackDown

There is no dearth of superstars and teams that made major marks in NXT but failed on RAW and SmackDown. One such group was Sanity. The group, led by Eric Young, made their SmackDown debut in 2018. After a brief push, the group was largely ignored and couldn't make any impact. Eric Young was released soon after with Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain being sent back to NXT and later released.

The only member of the group who found success on the main roster was Nikki Cross. Riju Dasgupta of SportsKeeda spoke to Big Damo (f.k.a. Killian Dain) about multiple topics, including why Sanity did not work-out on the main roster. Here is what Big Damo had to say:

"We went from being faces towards the end of our NXT run. We go into SmackDown, completely brand new as villains, and the top villains at the time were the Bludgeon Brothers. They were champs for a long time, and then I think it was Sheamus and Cesaro. There wasn't a great amount of room for us, so a lot of it comes down to time, and a lot of it is luck."

Damo also talked about how the major creative flip-flops that took place backstage in WWE hindered their push as a team.
