Tiffany Stratton Addresses Rumor Claiming WWE Star Was Released For Flirting With Her
Tiffany Stratton has debunked all the rumors claiming that a WWE star was released because of flirting with her. The star in question here is Giovanni Vinci.
There have been major rumors circulating on the internet claiming that Vinci was kicked out of the Imperium faction and later released from WWE because he flirted with Tiffany Stratton while she was dating his tag team partner, Ludwig Kaiser.
During a recent Twitch stream, Tiffany Stratton debunked the rumor, confirming that there is not even an ounce of truth to it. Tiffany stated that the rumor is a complete fabrication.
Tiffany Stratton Reacts to Giovanni Vinci’s TNA Signing With Supportive Message
The current WWE Women’s United States Champion, Tiffany, also noted that Vinci recently signed a contract with TNA and wished him the best for his future.
“You guys. That may be the craziest one I’ve ever heard. That did not happen, that is not true. There is no truth to that. I hope he’s doing amazing. I heard he just signed with TNA, and I think he’s gonna kill it. So absolutely no truth to that. That’s a [completely] false accusation.”
Giovanni Vinci was released in February 2025. His departure was part of a standard roster adjustment because WWE creative had run out of ideas for him, and therefore, it had nothing to do with flirting with Tiffany Stratton.
Following his release from WWE, Vinci spent more than a year away from the pro wrestling world before making his grand return.
On May 14, 2026, episode of Thursday Night Impact!, he made a surprise TNA debut shortly after Cedric Alexander dethroned Leon Slater for the TNA X Division Championship. He then pointed at the new champion, hinting that he is eyeing his gold.
He now goes by his real name, Fabian Aichner, which he also used during his pre-WWE career.
