What’s next?

Marella hasn’t performed as a professional wrestler since 2014. As Destiny has prevailed over the Battle Arts, the return of Milan Miracle seems imminent.

Author’s take

Santino Marella has suffered three major neck injuries throughout his professional wrestling career. His age coupled with his health record makes a full-time return an unlikely scenario.

This comes as great news for Marella’s fans and the budding Destiny World Wrestling.
