10 TNA Stars Perfect For WWE NXT Talent Exchange

Santino Marella was one of WWE's most entertaining talents on the mic, never missing an opportunity to crack a joke and even make the wrestlers themselves break character. It was always a welcome sight to see him breathe that energy and humor into a segment, and it's now eight years since Santino's WWE exit.

Marella has had a few random WWE appearances since then - such as entering the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match under his Santina Marella guise for a quick elimination - and it's time for him to make another.

Even if Santino's not willing or able to step into the ring for a match, or whip out the Cobra to take someone out, WWE has had lots of fun toying with guest general managers. As "Director of Authority" in TNA, he's uniquely suited to act as a representative of the company to justify in-storyline who is coming over and why.

The real key to making Santino Marella one of the best people to utilize in this talent exchange, is how we could finally see him interact with his real-life daughter, Arianna Grace.

Whether the self-crowned Miss NXT acknowledges their relationship or WWE plays it off as a wink to the audience, this may be the only opportunity the two will have to bounce their comedic timing off each other and create some magic.
