On this week’s edition of WWE NXT 2.0 a vignette aired teasing the arrival of a new Italian character named Giovanni Vinci. Because Vinci was born in Italy, several fans on social media have speculated that he is the former Fabian Aichner.
Aicher hasn’t been on NXT television since the Imperium’s split and the main roster call-ups of Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. Vince McMahon recently stated that new WWE stars should not use their real names or names they used before entering the business, which would explain Aicher’s name change.
