Although NXT Vengeance Day had several significant moments, Santino Marella's appearance in the building before the main event was one of the most surprising. At Madison Square Garden, Arianna Grace interrupted Ava as she was in the ring promoting NXT Roadblock. She casually disclosed that her father, Santino Marella, was present in the building. The rumour that Marella would be meeting to talk about plans heated the situation.
Marella being the Director of Authority for TNA, his travel to NXT was strictly business-related. With TNA talent appearing in WWE, the relationship between NXT and TNA is already established; nevertheless, Marella's attendance at Vengeance Day suggests that there are more significant conversations taking place behind the scenes. The fact that TNA and WWE officials are meeting indicates that plans are underway, whether they include more crossover matches, talent sharing, or something entirely different.

Ava claims that before the two left to speak, Marella acknowledged that he had some "ideas" that he had been wanting to discuss. Fans could be heard chanting Marella's name around the arena during that moment. Arianna brought her father, Santino Marella, into the picture after thanking Ava for letting her serve as the NXT liaison at TNA.
Santino Marella made his first appearance after 2020
Marella made his first appearance on any WWE show since he tried to enter the women's Rumble as Santina at the 2020 Royal Rumble. Recent appearances on TNA TV include Cora Jade, who went 2-0 on the Thursday night show with a victory this past Thursday. As the year goes on, more crossover between the two brands is anticipated.
Whatever conversations occurred at Vengeance Day might have an impact on Roadblock, which is scheduled for March 11 at Madison Square Garden. As both businesses seek to deepen their collaboration, Marella's arrival might portend more shocks to come.
