"Like this crazy uncle" - Released superstar helped Nikki Cross grow as a performer in WWE
WWE Superstar Nikki Cross recently spoke about working with Eric Young and the rest of sAnitY.
Cross made her main roster debut as part of sAnitY on SmackDown back in 2018. However, the faction did not get too many wins and gradually faded in prominence. The final blow came when Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, and Killian Dain were released by WWE in 2020-21, leaving Nikki as the only member of the stable still part of the company.
In a recent conversation with Love Wrestling Interviews, Nikki Cross mentioned that she enjoyed being a part of sAnitY. She claimed that she learned a lot from the trio of Eric Young, Killian Dain, and Alexander Wolfe. The former RAW Women's Champion stated that she also enjoyed working with her husband and always looked back fondly on her time with the faction.
"For me, sAnitY was the most fun I have ever had in my career. I had Eric Young, who is like this crazy uncle. I had my husband, Killian Dain. Getting to work with my husband was really fun. I had my best friend, Alexander Wolfe. So for me, sAnitY was the most fun I've ever had in my career. I learned so much from those three men. They taught me so much and I learned so much. So for me, it's just a time I look really fondly on and it helped me grow as a performer. So I would never want to forget that." [From 5:56 - 6:30]
