Santino Marella is back.
Santino Marella is a former WWE United States, Intercontinental, and Tag Team Champion. Now, Santino Marella is the new Director of Authority in IMPACT Wrestling.
Santino was announced as the temporary replacement for the injured Scott D'Amore on the Hard To Kill 2023 pay-per-view. His first piece of business was to restart the Digital Media Championship match between Joe Hendry and Moose after the title was awarded to Moose following a low blow and Spear to Hendry.

Dusty Rhodes was once the director of authority back in the early days of TNA Wrestling. Now, Santino proudly carries the mantle.
IMPACT Wrestling, via Anthem Sports, recently filed to trademark the Santino Marella name. Previously, Anthony Carelli had appeared in IMPACT out of character, but now, he is playing the same fun-loving WWE persona he portrayed for over a decade.
