Tiffany Stratton Shuts Down Rumour Fabian Aichner Was Released By WWE For Flirting With Her

Tiffany Stratton has shut down a long-standing rumour on social media and Reddit that Fabian Aichner (FKA Giovanni Vinci) was released by WWE due to flirting with her while she was in a relationship with Ludwig Kaiser.

Without naming Aichner, Stratton answered a question on her Twitch stream about a WWE wrestler being released after flirting with her. Stratton said:

"You guys, that may be the craziest one I have 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 going to kill it. Absolutely no truth to that. That's a completely false accusation. Who thought that was true? Let me know."

The social media rumour first emerged in 2024 after Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser were suddenly broken up as a tag team, having been part of Imperium together for several years. Vinci was then repackaged with a return to his Italian playboy gimmick, only to lose two quick matches against Apollo Crews upon his return, before Vinci sustained another loss in October 2024 on WWE Speed. Vinci then disappeared on WWE TV, but the rumour of flirting with Stratton only continued to circulate amongst pro wrestling fans following Vinci's WWE release in February 2025.

Giovanni Vinci took a break from pro wrestling following his WWE release, but he debuted for TNA Wrestling as Fabian Aichner on the May 14 episode of Thursday Night IMPACT, immediately entering the X-Division Title picture.

Tiffany Stratton and Ludwig Kaiser have since broken up. She is now in a relationship with developmental talent Shido Ash, while Kaiser/El Grande Americano is dating AAA interviewer Andrea Bazarte.
