Wolfe talks about WWE’s handling of Sanity during their time

Former WWE Superstar Alexander Wolfe revealed that Retribution’s original plans were set out for Sanity.

In a recent interview with Fightful, Wolfe revealed that the ideas put forth by the team to WWE were all immediately rejected:

“I saw a lot of ideas which happened with Retribution in the beginning,” Wolfe said when Sapp asked him about ideas he pitched for Sanity that never came to fruition. “We pitched like to mess up stuff. Like to, whatever, crash a car. To destroy windows. Mess around with security because we got banned by the actions of last week because we took somebody out.”

“Just causing chaos, but controlled chaos for us because we are the creator of chaos and nobody knows what’s happening besides the guys who created it.”

He also revealed that it was the call of Triple H to split the team to get more out of them. The creation of Sanity was also implemented by the Cerebral Assasin, but it failed.

Sanity made their debut in NXT that compromised of Alexander Wolfe, Eric Young, Nikki Cross and Sawyer Fulton.

Sanity were title holders as well during their time in NXT

The team replaced Fulton for Killian Dain, after which they moved to WWE Raw. After the break-up of Sanity, Wolfe moved back to NXT and reunited with former teammates Walter and Marcel Barthel, to form Imperium.

Wolfe Praises former leader Eric Young

On April 15, 2020, Young was released from his WWE contract due to the COVID-19 budget cuts. He was the leader of Sanity and was one of the top wrestlers on NXT. He was iconic on IMPACT Wrestling and had good matches as a singles competitor.

However, Wolfe revealed that he has good memories of Young and only learnt the best. (h/t Fightful)

“He gave us a lot of tips on how to work better on a television program, how to kind of play to the cameras more and also promo wise. From a wrestling standpoint, everybody was different, and everybody had their favorite on how to do wrestling stuff but production wise, character wise, how to work a character, how to do this and that, he helped us a lot. He helped me a lot with that. He’s a cool guy.”
