A number of WWE stars have been cut recently and the wrestling world is still processing the releases. One of the WWE stars who happened to get released last week was Giovanni Vinci. The former Imperium member took to social media after he was released to post the following statement:
“Thank you to the WWE Universe, @WWE, and everyone I had the pleasure of working with. ”
Giovanni Vinci first signed with WWE in 2017 and he went to debut with the NXT brand under his real name Fabian Aichner. In 2019, Fabian Aichner joined the Imperium stable. In 2022 the Giovanni Vinci name was introduced and Vinci ended up reuniting with his Imperium stablemates on the main roster.
In April of 2024, Giovanni Vinci was kicked out of Imperium. He was then sent to SmackDown during the 2024 WWE Draft, but he was rarely used in the months that followed.
