Giovanni Vinci is back with his Imperium stablemates on the main WWE roster. Vinci was introduced by Ludwig Kaiser on today’s WWE Clash at the Castle PPV and accompanied Gunther to the ring for Gunther’s match against Sheamus.

Vinci was formerly known as Marcel Barthel and was part of Imperium in NXT. When Gunther and Kaiser were called up to the main roster, Vinci stayed in NXT and received a gimmick change. He still had his new name and neatly-trimmed Giovanni Vinci beard at Clash at the Castle today.
