Santino Marella attacks WWE star's lawyer!

Santino Marella attacked a WWE star's lawyer on the recent episode of TNA Impact. The former Intercontinental Champion serves as the on-screen Director of Authority in the Nashville-based promotion and was involved in a heated segment this week.

This week on Impact, Santino booked TNA World Champion and WWE NXT star Trick Williams in a tag team match. Williams teamed up with AJ Francis to take on Mike Santana and Steve Maclin.

The match ended with Santana pinning Williams, but the two continued to brawl after the bout. Later in the night, the WWE NXT star called his lawyer and asked him to come to the venue.

The final segment of the show saw Trick Williams and his lawyer, Michael O’Shea, enter the ring. Williams complained about being attacked after the match and called TNA a "crime scene." He further stated that, according to his contract, he is not required to defend his championship for 50 days from his last defense. Santino then walked out to the ring and said that Trick will put the title on the line at Bound for Glory on October 12, which falls eight days after the 50-day mark.

However, he was interrupted by Trick Williams' lawyer, but Santino wasn't having it. He turned around and loaded up the famed Cobra and struck Michael O'Shea, knocking him out as the show came to an end.

Santino Marella created history with his daughter in TNA

While Santino Marella continues to entertain the audience in TNA, his daughter Arianna Grace is making a name for herself in WWE on the NXT brand.

Grace made her debut in TNA last year, revealing that she will be a liaison between the promotion and WWE's NXT.

Earlier this year, the duo made history. On the May 29 episode of Impact, Santino and Arianna teamed up to take on Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford, becoming the first father-daughter tag team in TNA history.

Arianna Grace also accompanied her father to the ring at the Against All Odds pay-per-view on June 6, where Santino Marella beat Sheriff Stone to stay on as TNA's Director of Authority.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
