Tiffany Stratton has firmly denied a viral rumor suggesting she played any role in Giovanni Vinci’s WWE departure, calling the story completely false.
Speaking during a recent Twitch stream, Stratton addressed online speculation that Vinci—now wrestling again as Fabian Aichner—was released after allegedly flirting with her while she was in a relationship with Ludwig Kaiser. According to Stratton, the claim has no basis in reality.
“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.”
Stratton didn’t just deny the rumor—she also made it clear there are no personal issues between her and Vinci, and even expressed support for his current run outside WWE.
“I hope he’s doing amazing. I heard he just signed with TNA. He’s going to kill it.”
She closed by reiterating her stance in no uncertain terms.
“Absolutely no truth to that. A complete false accusation.”
Vinci was released by WWE in February 2025 after a lengthy run that included his time as part of Imperium alongside Kaiser and Gunther. Since then, he has returned to using the Fabian Aichner name and recently appeared in TNA Wrestling, making a surprise appearance on the May 14 episode of iMPACT!.
Stratton’s comments appear to definitively put an end to the speculation, clarifying that her name had no connection to Vinci’s exit from WWE.
