In a backstage update on the current status of recent NXT call-ups SAnitY and The Authors of Pain, Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that from what he's heard, the reason why we haven't seen much of The AOP on Raw or the debut of SAnitY on SmackDown Live is simply because WWE Creative doesn't really have any ideas for them right now.

Meltzer said the following in reference to The AOP and SAnitY:

“They fell through the cracks.

“It’s like them (The AOP) and SAnitY, they got brought up, and you know, like … remember the idea that, ‘We’re not going to bring anyone up unless we have ideas for them?’ Well, they brought them up and now they got no ideas for them.”
