Giovanni Vinci, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson Released By WWE

WWE continued to carry out releases on Saturday, February 8 and it has been reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select that Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson of The Good Brothers, as well as Giovanni Vinci (FKA Fabian Aichner) have been let go by WWE.

They are the latest talents to be let go. Isla Dawn announced she was released on Saturday, while it emerged in the early hours that Blair Davenport, Akam & Rezar of AOP, Paul Ellering, and Cedric Alexander had been released. Sonya Deville was informed her contract would not be renewed.

The Good Brothers' release comes at a time when Karl Anderson is out of action for several more months, having undergone surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and partially torn labrum. Anderson has not wrestled since October 1 and Luke Gallows has been utilised in dark matches in Machine Gun KA's absence.

Luke Gallows was in his third run with WWE, while Karl Anderson was in his second stint with the company. The tag team returned to WWE in 2022 following time in TNA, NJPW, and AEW. Their first run as a team in WWE ran from 2016 until 2020.

Giovanni Vinci had been a part of WWE since 2017, spending the vast majority of his time with the company as part of Imperium with Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. That came to an end in 2024 after Kaiser turned on Vinci and Giovanni returned to his Italian playboy gimmick, only to lose two quick matches to Apollo Crews in September. Outside of WWE Speed, Vinci never wrestled a televised match again until his release.
