NXT News: Sawyer Fulton returns from injury

Sawyer Fulton(far right) lost his spot in the Sanity faction

What’s the story?

Sawyer Fulton made his return from injury after around half a year.

In case you didn’t know....

Sawyer Fulton was an original member of the NXT faction SAnitY. He was getting a big push as part of the faction until he was met with an untimely injury. As a result of this, he lost his spot in the faction to Big Damo, who was later renamed Killian Dain. On TV, he was written off and thrown out of the faction

This was indeed disappointing for Sawyer Fulton, and it just goes to show why wrestlers in the older days would hide their injuries: so that they don’t lose their spot. An example of this would be many years ago when Randy Orton and Batista were in Evolution and got injured. They were assured that they wouldn’t lose their spot to anyone else, and as promised, they didn’t.

The heart of the matter

Chinese recruit Yanbo “Boa” Wang was being interviewed by Christy St. Cloud on stage until Sawyer Fulton made his return and took him out.

Furthermore, Fulton took to Twitter to comment on his return:

What’s next?

Fulton will return to NXT, and it would be interesting to see him in a program with Sanity again. Whether that means reuniting or going up against Sanity, there definitely should be a place for him on NXT television.

Author’s Take

Sawyer Fulton is a talented superstar who seemed to finally be getting a big break after 4 years in developmental. The injury came at a terrible time, but that’s the nature of the professional wrestling business. Hopefully, he isn’t just thrown to the side and not utilised. Someone liked Fulton can have a good spot on television, and there is definitely unfinished business between him and Sanity.
