Former WWE performer Fabian Aichner, previously known as Giovanni Vinci, has joined TNA Wrestling and made a surprise debut on the May 14 edition of TNA iMPACT.
Aichner, who last appeared on WWE television in a September 2024 episode of SmackDown before departing the company in February 2025, discussed the move in an interview with The Takedown. He described the signing as a perfect fit after taking time off to recharge. Aichner credited a friend in Germany for highlighting TNA's improvements and noted that his former coach, Matt Bloom, connected him with Tommy Dreamer. Aichner praised TNA's product quality, recent signings and the ring style that matched his early career experience. He said the positive fan reaction to his real name confirmed the decision was right. The interview was transcribed with credit to The Takedown on SI and a hat tip to Wrestling Inc.
