It was announced on Tuesday that SAniTY would be joining the SmackDown Live roster next Tuesday. Perhaps technically not part of the Superstar Shake-up, the announcement came at the same time as the blue brand was seeing drastic changes in their roster. SAniTY is potentially the biggest change of them all.

For fans who don't know the group, they've not been watching much NXT programming in the past few months. SAniTY has changed as a group since their debut but the key players to know are Eric Young, Killian Dain, Alexander Wolfe and Nikki Cross. It appears however, Cross will be staying on NXT and competing in the Women's Division where she is a major player.

In an effort to get the casual main roster watcher more familiar with SAniTY, here is everything you need to know.

The Wyatt Family/Decay of Today

If we were to choose one way to describe SAniTY, and we couldn't use details about each competitor, we'd say to envision a mix between the Wyatt Family and Decay from Impact Wrestling. Once you do, somewhere in the middle, you'd find SAniTY.

The idea is that the group is not all there, their creepy entrance music and cackling laugh bringing them slowly into every arena, only for them to climb the ropes like a pack of wild dogs ready to tear their opponent apart. Their name is quite fitting and the group is unique which should give them an advantage when trying to stand out on the SmackDown Live roster.

Led by former Impact/TNA star Eric Young, he's like the Bray Wyatt of the group. Dain is the heavy and Wolfe the workhorse. They are a diverse group of insanely wacky talent and entertaining to watch.

The Leader

Fans who know Eric Young will know him as a former TNA World Champion. He came over to WWE around the same time as Bobby Roode and was thrust into the group with a complete character change from his days in the Impact Zone. He's one of the few members of the group who had experience on television prior to the group getting their shot in NXT and he lovingly refers to the faction as a bunch of "maniacs."

Young was responsible for not only getting three other independent wrestlers used to working in front of cameras but helping Triple H get over his image of the lunatics from the film Smokin' Aces. He's done an admirable job. In 2016, a few vignettes aired on NXT programming and the group entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament. By 2017, the group was crowned NXT Champions.

Babyfaces or Heels

Until September of 2017, SAniTY was an exclusively heel group. They were known for attacking their opponents without warning, sometimes after matches resulting in referees reversing their decisions. In September of 2017, they turned to help Drew McIntyre against The Undisputed Era. They played the babyface role after that but were never quite full babyface.

Whether WWE chooses to bring them in as heels or babyfaces will be interesting. They'll likely be better received as bad guys trying to run through the roster with their pack mentality but WWE has a tendency to bring up their popular NXT stars as good guys when the group has a cool entrance or is widely liked by the underground rabid fanbase who closely follow NXT. WWE could choose to go either way.

The Potential

There may be no limit to what SAniTY can be if played right by WWE. Like the Wyatts before them, the group will come to SmackDown Live with momentum and great interest. If WWE doesn't try to overdo things and lets the group be the group that ran over other teams in NXT, this could do well.

With New Day, The Usos, The Bar and other teams on the blue brand, that won't be as easy to do as it is to say. There will be lots of opponents worth SAniTY's time and plenty to keep the group busy. Specifically, it will be interesting to see what happens if and when they meet up with a group like The Bludgeon Brothers.
