Nikki Bella Trains For Her Comeback and Weighs In On WWE’s New Era, Santino Talks WWE Departure

– WWE.com cameras caught up with former Divas Champion Nikki Bella at the Performance Center as she stepped back in the ring for the first time since undergoing neck surgery.

– Despite WWE announcing in May that Santino Marella had been released from his contract along with a number of Superstars, “The Milan Miracle” says otherwise.

“I wasn’t released. The contract just ran out and they just opted not to renew it,” Marella said in this podcast interview.

Marella also said his departure wasn’t negative at all and that his experience in WWE was “amazing.”
