Tiffany Stratton Denies Rumors Giovanni Vinci Was Released from WWE for Flirting With Her

Tiffany Stratton held a recent Twitch stream. One of the topics discussed included Stratton denying the online rumors that former WWE talent Giovanni Vinci was released from WWE in February of 2025 due to him inappropriately flirting with her while she was dating Ludwig Kaiser.

“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. I hope he’s doing amazing. I heard he just signed with TNA. He’s going to kill it. Absolutely no truth to that. A complete false accusation,”

Vinci recently made his official debut appearance for TNA Wrestling at the May 14th live episode of TNA Impact! under the ring name of Fabian Aichner that he had previously used in the indies prior to his time in WWE.

Randy Orton Comments on His Current WWE Abscense & Denies Being Injured

Randy Orton has been absent from WWE since his match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at this past April’s WrestleMania 42 Night 1 event. Orton was believed to be “hurting” or banged up going into his match at the event.

Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources stated that the reason for Orton’s abscense is due to him currently dealing with a recurring back injury. Meltzer reported that this is the same injury that almost ended Orton’s wrestling career at one point.

Orton responded earlier today on Twitter denying Meltzer’s report and instead stated that he is “just milking” his back injury and trying to enjoy his summer before he comes back to work.

“Lmao just milking it guys, leave me alone I’m trying to enjoy my summer before I come back and take that #15”
