Over the years fans have seen a lot of stables come and go, and it seemed for a while that Sanity had found success in NXT, but unfortunately they weren’t able to find that same success when the group got called up to the main roster.
It was recently revealed that WWE decided not to renew Alexander Wolfe’s contract, and he recently spoke with Ringsiders Wrestling about plans for a Sanity reunion. According to Wolfe, original plans called for Sanity to reunite last year, but those plans were nixed after Eric Young got released from his contract.
“But going back to the plan, actually the plan before the pandemic hit was to bring SAnitY back together. But then the pandemic hit and then E.Y. [Eric Young] got released, and what I know is that not even Triple H knew about EY. The only thing — and E.Y., he said it in an interview, he [Triple H] was one of the first guys to give him the call and, ‘Sorry man, I didn’t know about that,’ and I don’t know this, just [guessing], they probably tried to rehire him but, as I can relate right now, there’s no animosity, there’s no hatred but it’s a sour pill to swallow that they kind of like deny you and you kind of think, ‘Okay guys, you don’t want to have me? F you.’”
“We’re all humans, we all feel. That was the plan to bring SAnitY back just to have all three of us together and then we would feud with the three guys of Imperium but then they have to figure out what can we do, blah, blah, blah and I thought because of this and even with E.Y. being gone from the company that they wanna do something with Killian [Dain] and me and maybe with Drake [Maverick] together then or maybe with somebody else. We form kind of like a SAnitY 2.0 where a lot of people would say, ‘Where’s E.Y.? Where’s E.Y.?’ Because you know, they have to complain. But in the end, it [didn’t] happen that way. In the end, they did budget cuts and then as I got told, I was on the list for that so they will not fire me but because my contract is up on June 15th, they will not renew me and point.”
Even though Sanity ultimately never really got off the ground on the main roster, Wolfe noted that initially the group was told that they were liked by Vince McMahon, and creative had a lot of ideas for them.
“And then with the call-up, they kind of ‘promised’ us something with, ‘Yeah, they have a lot of ideas and Vince likes you guys and he can’t wait to start’ and we thought, ‘Okay, cool’ and we had a lot of ideas as well and we just, you know, then we got postponed for the debut. We planned to debut here on this pay-per-view. ‘Oh no, let’s do it the week after SmackDown. Oh, we don’t have time for it. Let’s do it next week,’ blah, blah, blah. So we signed actually in July but we debuted way later.”
