Former WWE Star Alexander Wolfe recently spoke with Joey Karni on an episode of The Angle Podcast and revealed that he was surprised to be released, but he kind of had the feeling of it. Wolfe also noted that the decision to release him from his WWE contract was done weeks in advance.
Wolfe said, “I was truly surprised, but I kind of had the feeling of it.” “Because it’s pretty weird, and the reason was is I tried to figure out what the plan is for the next weeks and I [couldn’t] get ahold of somebody and they probably knew it, because what I had heard was is that it was already decided 3 weeks before but they kind of stalled and just waited 3 more weeks, eventually until something happened, I don’t know.”
Wolfe then talked about their being a plan to remove him from Imperium and bring SAnitY back, but the pandemic hit and Eric Young got released. Wolfe also talked about how he loved being part of Imperium because it is more him.
Wolfe said, “The inside is that in spring of 2020 the plan was so split me off from Imperium and bring back Sanity.” “Then the pandemic hit and EY (Eric Young) got released. And travel restrictions had just [started] so no one could travel, no one could do anything. Then eventually Sanity [was supposed] to do 6-man matches with Imperium, which would have been nice even if I wasn’t keen on the idea because I loved being a part of Imperium. It’s more me. Even though I liked my time in Sanity, I had some great achievements with them. But I’m more of a pure wrestler than actor.”
Wolfe then talked about WWE COO Triple H deciding to split SAnitY up and send him to WWE NXT UK to be part of Imperium.
Wolfe said, “I got the appearances for NXT UK and I asked what was that all about.” “[Triple H] said, ‘I don’t want you guys to sit around on the main roster and do nothing, I want to use your potential. So, I split you off and you’re going to NXT UK to go back with your old group and start building NXT UK, and start [building] you guys as a brand and eventually you will split off and will feud with them. Then after I heard the plans for Sanity in 2020, I thought, ‘Oh okay, that’s what he means.’ They totally dropped the ball on Sanity on the main roster. Sanity was [Triple H’s] creation and I think it was a bitter pill to swallow when [the main roster] dropped the ball with us. He wanted to bring EY back to NXT because he was doing nothing on the main roster as well.”
