Santino Marella is a fan-favorite as one of the funniest WWE Superstars. However, one aspect of his character the fans reject is his appearance as his fictional sister Santina Marella.

Santina's win in the Miss Wrestlemania Battle Royal was a terrible moment, and the character's return after the end of its initial run was deemed unlikely.

However, WWE surprisingly brought Santina back during the Women's Royal Rumble 2020. However, the superstar was not lucky this time. Standing in the same ring as some of the finest women in the history of the promotion, Santina had no choice but to eliminate herself.

Before the eldest son of Dusty Rhodes was pushing boundaries as Goldust, he was "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes in WCW. Rhodes was a rising star, winning the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. Nevertheless, after an infamous blading incident, he was fired by WCW for breaking corporate rules.

In 2017, WWE had the bright idea to reintroduce Starrcade, the premier event of WCW, as a glorified house show. Goldust made his entrance to face Dash Wilder and promptly removed the costume to reveal the return of "The Natural" to a massive pop from the audience.
