WWE SmackDown Live Superstar Reportedly Heading For NXT
The Superstar Shake-Up continues...
The Superstar Shake-Up continued this week, with The B Team moving from Raw to SmackDown Live, and The Good Brothers moving from SmackDown Live to Raw.
It looks like another SmackDown Superstar will be on the move as part of Shake-Up, as Dave Meltzer has confirmed that Killian Dain is heading back to NXT.
Nikki Cross, Dain's real-life wife, has also been confirmed as a member of the Raw women's division.
Dain's initial stint in WWE's yellow brand was all about great timing, as an injury to Sawyer Fulton saw the former Big Damo replace him in SAnitY. From there, the SAniTY foursome of Dain, Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe and Nikki Cross became one of NXT's most popular acts, winning the brand's Tag Team Championships from AOP at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III.
After their move to the main roster last spring, SAnitY was ripped apart during the Superstar Shake-Up, as Young moved to Raw while Wolfe was shipped off to NXT UK.
Despite a lot of hype, the group wasn't really put into a notable feud upon arrival on SmackDown Live. Their last appearances together came as Shane McMahon's henchmen ahead of WrestleMania 35.
