Giovanni Vinci has apparently been kicked out of Imperium.
On April 22, Gunther returned to WWE RAW for the first time since he lost the Intercontinental Championship to Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 40. Gunther declared for the King of the Ring tournament. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston interrupted, and a showdown with Imperium set the stage for a tag team match. Kingston and Woods scored the win, and Gunther was clearly furious after the match. Gunther glared at Ludwig Kaiser and walked away.
Kaiser and Vinci started to walk away, but Ludwig snapped and turned on his tag team partner. He brutally attacked him. Officials separated them, but Kaiser ran back and kicked Vinci’s head into the steel steps.
Kaiser then walked to the back, where Gunther was waiting. He told “The Ring General” that he would get it done, and they smiled at each other.
Update: WWE then shared a clip on social media in which RAW General Manager Adam Pearce approached Kaiser and told him to bring his checkbook, implying that he had been fined. Kaiser said it was money well spent.
Vinci joined Gunther and Kaiser on the main roster at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022. The trio were founding members of Imperium in 2019. Kaiser and Vinci are two-time NXT Tag Team Champions.
