Tiffany Stratton is rejecting speculation online about a situation between herself and a former WWE wrestler.

During a livestream, Stratton was denying online rumors about various subjects when she brought up one about a former WWE wrestler who was supposedly fired for flirting with her. Stratton took time to deny any such thing happened and wished the best for the wrestler in question.

“You guys. That may be the craziest one I’ve ever heard. That did not happen, that is not true,” she said. “There is no truth to that. I hope he’s doing amazing, I heard he just signed with TNA, and I think he’s gonna kill it. So absolutely no truth to that. That’s a [completely] false accusation.”

Who is the wrestler in question?

Although Stratton did not mention this person by name, former WWE wrestler Giovanni Vinci made his Impact debut on Thursday’s live show, staring down new X Division Champion Cedric Alexander. 

Vinci is best known for his run as a member of Imperium alongside Ludwig Kaiser and Gunther. Although not originally called up to WWE’s main roster, he eventually joined his stablemates in 2022. The three remained a unit until 2024, when he was kicked out of Imperium following an assault by Kaiser. He made his debut as a singles wrestler on SmackDown later that year, but was defeated twice by Apollo Crews before being released in February 2025.
