Trivia

Made his debut on WWE on April 16, 2007 in which he took the WWE Intercontinental Championship from Umaga in a No Holds Barred Match.

He and his on-screen girlfriend, Maria Kanellis, broke up after Santino attempted to sabotage the unveiling of Maria's Playboy cover.

He was tag team partners with Carlito in early 2008.

Santino received a Stone Cold Stunner from Steve Austin after bashing Stone Cold's new movie The Condemned (2007).

Two time OVW Television Champion.

On May 1, 2008, Carelli was arrested on a DUI charge by Tampa police, but was later released on a $500 bond.

Santino's "sister", Santina was crowned "Miss WrestleMania" at The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania (2009).

Two time WWE Intercontinental Champion. His streak rivaled only second to the Honky-Tonk Man's.

Recieved a clothesline from Snoop Dogg at WrestleMania XXIV (2008).

Holds the rather dubious record of shortest time spent in the ring during a Royal Rumble match. At the 2009 event, on January 25, Marella entered the match at number 28 and was immediately clotheslined by Kane over the top rope and back out onto the floor. At a swift 1.9 seconds, it still stands as the fastest Royal Rumble elimination. Barely beating the Warlord's 2 second elimination at the 1989 Royal Rumble.
