Every WWE Release Of 2021 - Where Are They Now? (Five Years Later)
45. Tino Sabbatelli
Then: Tino Sabbatelli spent 6 years in WWE's system and wrestled a total of 196 matches under the company's banner, but you'd be forgiven for not being able to name any of them. He was released for the first time as part of mass budget cuts in April 2020, then made a comeback later that same year before being let go all over again in June 2021.
That's why he's on this list. The October 2020-June 2021 stint encapsulated just 6 matches.
Now: Sabbs did make a brief stop in AEW between WWE runs. He teamed with Brady Pierce to face Best Friends pair Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta on the 21 July 2020 episode of Dark. That was it - that was all Tino did outside WWE. He didn't pick up any independent bookings or really make many showings elsewhere at all.
Sabbatelli's only indy show to date? A one off for IPW in December 2025. That's been it for him.
Away from the ring, Tino was married to former WWE star Mandy Rose in November 2024. They'd been a couple for years, and were engaged back in 2022. Sabbatelli has shown face in some of Mandy's online content over the years, and he's given a few interviews here or there about his experience in WWE.
It's remarkable that somebody spent so long in the system and wrestled so many matches without really standing out. That's not meant as criticism. It's just slightly surprising given his length of tenure in the biggest company around.
