Former WWE star Fabian Aichner, formerly Giovanni Vinci, has commented on his decision to sign with TNA Wrestling.
With Aichner released by WWE in February 2025, the Italian star was out of action for over a year ahead of appearing on the May 14 TNA iMPACT episode.
TNA Wrestling has now confirmed that Fabian Aichner has signed with the company, with Aichner discussing his decision to put pen to paper with The Takedown on SI.
Noting that some things were just pointing him to TNA, Aichner said:
“I think it’s pretty well known that I took a little bit of time off over the last course of the year. It was quite the roller coaster towards the end (of his WWE run), and the whole point was to recharge the batteries a little bit. I think that definitely got accomplished,” he said.
“As it so happens, sometimes things were just pointing to TNA. A friend of mine in Germany pointed out that TNA has been improving their product greatly. I agree with that. So I checked it out.”
Noting that things started to progress after he spoke with Tommy Dreamer, Aichner continued:
“We talked, we got on the phone, and things just started clicking. It was just an organic fit, and I absolutely love it there.”
“I feel like they allow me really to put on screen what I have in mind, which sometimes in other promotions is a little bit more difficult to do.
“But I feel like I went in with the mindset of being very authentic, very true to myself, just as that saying goes, turning up the volume a little bit, but not really playing anything, not really being a character, just bringing my own values to TV and portraying that to the world.”
With Fabian Aichner’s lengthy in-ring absence, it will be nice to see the former Imperium member have the chance to remind fans what an impressive talent he is in the ring.
It will be interesting to see how Aichner is used moving forward, with TNA Wrestling presenting his signing as a big deal.
