Rumors On Identity Of Wrestler Behind WWE NXT “SAnity” Video Teaser

WWE Rumors: Superstar behind the NXT ‘Sanity’ video teaser revealed

Source: SportsRageous

During NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, there was a video teaser of a new NXT superstar with the words “SAnity” on it. The video teaser has also been aired during NXT the past two weeks.

The video, which can be seen below, teased a new superstar that will be making his or her way to NXT. Some WWE rumors are stating that it could be a female star while there are some that say it is a former TNA World Champion.

According to F4WOnline (h/t Daily Wrestling News), the identity of the superstar in the “SAnity” video teaser is independent star, “Crazy” Mary Dobson. The 22-year-old wrestler previously appeared on NXT as an enhancement talent.

It has been confirmed that Dobson already signed a contract with the WWE and she will be starting as soon as possible. However, the report noted that former TNA World Champion, Eric Young, could also be the one being teased in the vignette.

Young, who already made an appearance on NXT back in May, also signed a contract with the WWE. Nevertheless, NXT will be having another character that will continue the growth of the brand. NXT needs new stars following the call-ups of many of its talents to the main roster.

Dutch wrestler, Tommy End, has also been part of many WWE rumors in the past several months. According to 411 Mania, End already signed a deal with the WWE and he will start in NXT very shortly. His gimmick and look also fit the “SAnity” vignette very well.

NXT Preview: 8/31/16

The following is set for tonight’s 8/31 WWE NXT:

* Shinsuke Nakamura appears for the first time after winning the NXT Title

* Tye Dillinger vs. Murphy

* No Way Jose in action.

* Liv Morgan vs. Aliyah

Eric Young Signs Deal With WWE NXT

Former TNA Champion Eric Young, 36, has signed a deal with NXT. The belief is that they are waiting for the right time to debut him as a full-time performer. Young lost a match to Samoa Joe several weeks ago but he was not signed yet.

Young was a steady hand in TNA. He was part of Team Canada with Bobby Roode during the early years of TNA and then he eventually transitioned into a comedy babyface character and eventually into a nasty heel towards his later years with the company.

Both Young and Roode left TNA in March and reports surfaced later on about TNA having issues paying them.

NXT has shows coming up in Canada from 9/22 to 9/24 so it would make sense to feature Young on those shows. They will be in Toronto on 9/22, St. Catharines on 9/23 and Kitchener on 9/24.
