Released Star Reveals Moment He Knew WWE Was Burying Him

Over the last few years fans have seen quite a few NXT stars get called up to the main roster, and there seemed to be a lot of excitement when it came to Sanity getting called up. Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain and Nikki Cross had been working well as a unit in NXT, but their main roster run didn’t go quite so well.

Alexander Wolfe is now going by his real name Axel Tischer, and during an appearance on the Ten Count podcast the former WWE star noted that he knew things weren’t working out for Sanity when they were defeated by The Miz in a 3 on 1 handicap match.

“To the NXT UK thing, that was career-saving for me because we’d [SAnitY] been dead in the water in the main event. Just losing to The Miz, one against three. So nothing against The Miz. Awesome guy and very creative. To this day, one of the most constant superstars there but, his character’s not really a badass so beating three psychos, big achievement in my mind. But, you do what you’re gonna do, you have to be a professional. In that case, we knew that’s the burial right there now.”

Recently it’s been rumored that Eric Young is set to make his WWE return, and Axel Tischer added that he will never say never when it comes to a possible Sanity reunion.

“I have heard about rumors (of Eric Young heading back to WWE) but first, I checked if E.Y. is okay and he didn’t respond yet so we’ll see if he’s still alive or not (after being ‘stabbed’ on IMPACT on AXS). To be honest with that, of course I hear the rumors and I see all the posts from the wrestling community tagging my name, tagging [Big] Damo, Nikki [Cross], E.Y. and tagging Hunter and Shawn [Michaels] and all the importants in WWE because they remembered SAnitY and I’m very grateful for that and I’m also very grateful that people want to see that act get a second chance, just relive that and everything so, and it’s very dear to my heart. SAnitY in general was my breakout and yeah, is there room? I don’t know. Is there an opportunity? Maybe, because never say never in professional wrestling. Not only WWE but in general, never say never. But, time will tell I guess.”
