The February 5th episode of TNA iMPACT on AMC provided plenty of entertainment, though TNA Chief Santino Marella might have had a tougher time.
This week’s iMPACT Wrestling featured an intriguing backstage segment between Ariana Grace and her biological father, Santino Marella. Their interaction hinted at the possibility of a Nepo-inspired title match becoming a reality.
Ariana Grace expressed that she never got her shot in NXT and now desires an opportunity in TNA Wrestling. She then requested her father to arrange a title bout for her within his promotion.
Initially, Santino Marella was reluctant, but Ariana showed understanding by reminding him how he missed her sweet 16th birthday party during a WWE live event in Australia. This helped soften his stance.
Ultimately, Santino agreed to give Ariana a chance to claim the title. While no specific date was announced during the conversation, it was later revealed that Grace will challenge Lei Ying Lee for the Knockout Championship at No Surrender on February 13th.
