To quote from my illustrious colleague Andy Murray: Get yourselves ready for some Cobra action, because it looks like WWE is bringing in Santino Marella for Royal Rumble 2020.

This is according to a new report from PWInsider. The site's Mike Johnson claims to have confirmed this with several sources within the company, so we can probably expect to see something from the two-time Intercontinental Champion on Sunday night - hopefully as Santino, not Santina.

Marella has a storied Royal Rumble history. 2009 saw him break The Warlord's quickest elimination record when Kane bundled him out after just 1.9 seconds, though a 2011 glory run had the world briefly believing he was going to win before Alberto Del Rio put him out to take the bout.
