#2. WWE Hall of Famer Tito Santana's daughter: Jenni Santana
Tito Santana had three runs in WWE between 1979 and 1998, during which he won two Intercontinental Titles and two WWE Tag Team Championships. In 2004, he entered the WWE Hall of Fame. Although the 68-year-old was active on the independent circuit until October 2019, he has not wrestled for nearly three years now.
After practicing Brazilian Jiujitsu for several years, Santana's daughter, Jenni, recently decided to follow in her father's footsteps and pursue a wrestling career. In a recent interview with the Wrestling’s Greatest Podcast, she disclosed why she wanted to become a professional wrestler.
"Well, it was not that long ago. So, I actually had an interview and I interviewed with Hannibal and he was like 'Have you ever thought about wrestling? Have you tried it?' You know, and I was like 'No, I've never tried it' but I'm always up for something new like I love doing physical things, learning new skills, so I was like 'Sure, I will try this. It will be great' and I really fell in love with it, like I really enjoy it," she said.
Jenni started her wrestling training six months ago with former WWE Superstar Kizarny. Last December, Santana's daughter made her professional wrestling debut at an independent event. A few former WWE Superstars have praised her performance in her debut match. If she continues to do well, Jenni might join NXT 2.0 in the future.
Away from the wrestling ring, Tito Santana's daughter is a mother of two. She also holds a Master's Degree in education and currently works as a magnet program coordinator at a school district in Las Vegas.
Jenni and her father do not have a close relationship. In her interview with the Wrestling’s Greatest Podcast, she revealed that she did not know that she was Santana's daughter until only a few years ago. Nonetheless, the WWE Hall of Famer wished his daughter the best in her wrestling career during an interview with Hannibal TV last August.
