In case you didn’t know…

Marella made his debut in the WWE on an edition of Monday Night Raw from Italy in 2007. He would come out of the crowd as a “fan” to challenge Umaga for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and come out with a huge upset win thanks to the help of Bobby Lashley.

The heart of the matter…

In July of 2014, Marella retired from the WWE after several neck injuries. He would make a handful of cameo appearances in the WWE until his release in May of 2016.

Marella stated in an interview that he has felt better thanks to laser light therapy. He would expand upon that with the following quote:

What’s next?

As stated previously, Marella’s return to the ring will take place on August 27th. Before that event, Destiny World Wrestling is promoting a special appearance by Marella a couple of days prior on the 25th in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Author’s take…

Neck injuries are definitely not a thing to mess around with, but if Santino has the full okay from his doctor to have a match, the more power to him to go out on his own terms.
