Giovanni Vinci is finally opening up about his WWE release and his reaction might not be what people expected. After reports noted that WWE had plans for Vinci that were ultimately dropped before his February 2025 release, the former Imperium member is now sharing what that moment actually felt like from his side. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Vinci admitted the call ending his WWE run was emotional but also came with a sense of relief after everything leading up to it. Before reflecting on the bigger picture, Vinci described the immediate feeling after getting the call, saying it was a mix of disappointment and something unexpected. Giovanni Vinci then explained why that moment didnt just feel negative, revealing that the ups and downs of his final run actually made the release feel like a reset. Vinci went further, comparing the feeling to finally being able to step away and breathe after a long stretch of uncertainty. He also made it clear that after the release, his focus immediately shifted away from wrestling and toward taking time for himself. When asked how surprising the release actually was, Vinci admitted that by that point, he had already seen the signs coming especially after being off TV despite earlier plans to bring him back. He pointed to internal conversations about roster depth as a key factor, explaining how even expanded TV time didnt guarantee opportunities. Even with that added time, Vinci said he still wasnt being used which made the eventual call easier to process. In the end, Vinci confirms there were plans at one point, but from his perspective, things never fully came together before his release. Instead of frustration, hes coming out of it with clarity, perspective, and a reset after a stretch that never quite clicked.
