Impact Wrestling‘s parent company, Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC, filed to trademark the name Santino Marella on December 19 through attorney Michael Dockins.
Anthony Carelli played that character while in WWE. The trademark for the name expired in 2021, which is how Impact was able to get the trademark.
