TNA’s Santino Marella undergoes successful sleep apnea surgery
TNA’s Santino Marella recently announced undergoing a successful surgery.
Kayfabe suspended from TNA by Daria Rae. Marella recently possibly spilled the actual reason behind his kayfabe suspension.
Via Instagram, Marella announced his successful sleep apnea surgery and uploaded a photo with a bandage over his nose.
“Sleep [apnea] surgery was a success. In a couple weeks I’ll be sleeping properly for the first time in about 30 years. Better recovery, better blood oxygen levels, less brain fog, more energy, less inflammation, & lower cortisol levels to start,” Marella wrote. “I feel like it’s gonna be a new lease on life. Sucks pretty bad at the moment not gonna lie, but in a few days, I should begin to see the benefits.”
Marella was Director of Authority in TNA before he was kayfabe suspended from the company previously on this Thursday’s Impact before TNA Rebellion by Rae. Marella’s daughter, Arianna Grace, is scheduled to compete at TNA Rebellion, where she will defend her TNA Knockouts World Title against Lei Ying Lee.
