WWE wrestler Santino Marella says he should be returning to WWE TV either next week on Raw or the week after on September 9 in his home-area of Toronto.



"Whether it’s the 2nd or the 9th, I don’t know," Santino said on the Live Audio Wrestling Show last weekend. "I’m hoping it’s the 9th, because it’ll be a homecoming for me, born and raised in Mississauga (Ont., Canada). I would love to hear my music start, and just see the faces of these Torontonians going berzerk. One, because they appreciate the comedy. Two, because there are actually a lot of Italians in Toronto. Plus, I’ll have family and friends in the audience, and that will be a real special moment for me."



Santino said he has been off TV rehabbing his entire body after his neck was in "bad" condition in March, plus he re-negotiated his contract last year to take time off to spend with his family and build his new Battle Arts Academy in Mississauga.



"I basically had several things wrong with my neck; bulging discs, herniated discs, stenosis, degenerating discs, but the one thing that was bugging me at the time was arthritis," Santino told LAW hosts Dan Lovranski and John Pollock.



"When I renegotiated my contract a year ago, I wanted a little bit of time off just to heal my entire body, spend a little time with my family and live a little bit of life. When you’re successful and you’re doing well, you’re really five days a week, six days a week. Sometimes you won’t be home for two or three weeks."
