WWE Star Reacts To Father Being Added To Match Against Fiancé

WWE

A WWE star has been left ‘hurt’ after their father was recently added to a match against their real-life fiancé.

The recent episode of TNA iMPACT saw Matt Cardona take on NXT’s Lexis King to determine who would have the advantage in the December 18 Team TNA vs Team NXT steel cage match.

King would score the victory for Team NXT with an assist from TNA International Champion Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo.

With a post-match attack seeing Cardona suffer a ‘shoulder injury’, it has now been revealed that he has not been cleared to compete, as revealed by Santino Marella.

Having himself been attacked by Stacks at TNA Final Resolution, the director of authority has now found an ideal replacement for injured Cardona.

Following the revelation that it is Marella who will replace Cardona, the daughter of the former WWE star and partner of Stacks, Arianna Grace, has addressed the “hurt” of the situation, tweeting:

“Never did I think that the two men I love the most on this planet would be going head to head in a damn cage.

“I know honour is everything, and you both have your pride… but I’d be lying if I said this doesn’t hurt… 💔”

Grace had previously reacted in the aftermath of Stacks laying into her own father at Final Resolution on December 6.

Never did I think that the two men I love the most on this planet would be going head to head in a damn cage. I know honour is everything, and you both have your pride… but Id be lying if I said this doesn’t hurt… 💔 https://t.co/gp82u6WyQc
