Santino Marella has an idea.
Santino Marella previously had a prominent run in WWE; he held the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship, among other accolades. At TNA Hard To Kill 2023, Marella made his jaw-dropping arrival as IMPACT Wrestling's new Director of Authority. He has remained a featured part of TNA programming. Meanwhile, his daughter, Arianna Grace, is signed to NXT, and she has crossed over to TNA by making appearances as the liaison between NXT and TNA.
Speaking on the No Name Wrestling Podcast, Santino Marella was asked about how he held the record for the fastest Royal Rumble elimination and whether he could potentially break it in the Royal Rumble match this year.
“Well, they haven’t called yet. My daughter [Arianna], she had a little shoulder surgery, she’s back in the ring from it, but she hasn’t re-debuted yet. So I was pitching, I’m like, I don’t think it’s ever been done, father-daughter at the same Rumble. So it’d be really good for her to return to the programming. I’m down to show up and get that experience. Royal Rumble is my favorite pay-per-view of the year," Marella said.
As of this writing, there is no word on when or if Santino Marella will appear in WWE.
In 2023, Santino Marella said that he hoped to return for a Royal Rumble match. Check out his comments here.
