santino marella2 months ago, at a WWE live event, superstar Santino Marella announced his in-ring retirement due to a neck injury, however, in a new post on Facebook, via SLAM! Wrestling, Santino says neck fusion surgery might allow him to return to the ring.

Santino Marella had the following to say regarding his recent neck surgery and plans for a comeback:

“Surgery went well, there were some unexpected broken bones in my neck apparently but everything is looking good now, let the legendary comeback begin! 6 months till I get to do what I was born to do again, perform in front of the wwe universe.”

“There’s multiple things wrong with my neck. but the stenosis has increased to the point where it has to be fixed. I’m not cleared for physical contact due to the severity of my stenosis, but apparently with a double fusion you actually can return to the ring with four to six months of recovery time.”

“I believe being the Milan Miracle I have one miracle left,” said Marella. “There’s one belt that I haven’t captured—the WWE Championship—and it’s going to require that miracle to do it. On the right day at the right time I can definitely experience capturing that championship. There’s still some good wrestling left in this guy, so that’s what we’re going to try to do.”
