Santino Marella discussed his appearance at the Royal Rumble by working the Women’s Royal Rumble Match while talking with Corey Graves on the latest After the Bell.
It turns out that the former WWE star got sick before the show.
“The thing is, I got sick. Like two days before [the Rumble] I started feeling it coming on. And the day before I had like a 15 hour day. I was coaching a judo tournament, and then we came back and we had one of our shows at BattleArts. It’s called the Battle Rumble, a tribute to the Royal Rumble. And went home, four hours sleep. So when I got up to come to Houston, because I flew in the Sunday, I was not feeling well at all. And I just had to gut it out. So seeing all your friends and everything definitely picks up your spirits. And it was just a — it was a rough day.”
“But when you go through that curtain, you are oblivious to anything that is wrong with you. That audience completely electrifies you and saturates you with all this energy that’s incredible. But yeah, it was a tough day.”
