Tiffany Stratton Reacts to Rumor That Giovanni Vinci Was Released After Flirting With Her

Tiffany Stratton has officially shut down a rumor that Giovanni Vinci was released after trying to flirt with her. Vinci was released from WWE in January of 2025. He had previously been paired with Ludwig Kaiser, who dated Stratton, and Gunther as members of Imperium. Following his release, there was a rumor that Vinci was let go after he attempted to flirt with Stratton.

Stratton was asked about the rumor on a recent Twitch stream and immediately threw cold water on the notion. She said (per Fightful):

“You guys, that may be the craziest one I’ve ever heard. That did not happen. It is not true. There is no truth to that. I hope he’s doing amazing. I heard he just signed with TNA. He’s going to kill it. Absolutely no truth to that. A complete false accusation.”

Vinci is back on wrestling television, having made an appearance at the end of this week’s TNA Impact under his real name as Fabian Aichner.

Tiffany Stratton is the current WWE Women’s United States Champion, having won the title on the April 24th episode of WWE Smackdown.
