During a recent interview with Maurizio Meriuzzo, Santino Marella discussed his daughter, Arianna Grace, debuting on the WWE main roster.
Marella believes Arianna’s debut should take place in Italy. Santino himself debuted in Italy on the April 16, 2007 episode of RAW. He said,
“It’s interesting because this was Vince’s idea because he wanted to do something to grow the popularity in Italy. Now, I know the popularity came down a little bit, but I think now it’s coming back up. So my daughter wrestles in NXT, and I believe this year, she’ll be called up. So I messaged her yesterday and said, ‘Hey, see if you can debut in Bologna.’ It would be historical. I don’t know if she is, but that would be amazing.”
The latest episode of WWE Speed is now online, featuring Dragon Lee retaining his Speed Championship against Ivar.
Lee is the third WWE Men’s Speed Champion and has held the title for 119 days.
WWE has also announced a new tournament to crown the #1 contender for the Women’s Speed Championship.
