This week’s SmackDown featured an anticipated debut. On the last edition of the show on FOX, Giovanni Vinci made his way to the ring. He was scheduled to face Apollo Crews in a singles match on the show. However, unexpectedly, the former Imperium member suffered an embarrassing loss.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE creative backstage is completely resentful of such filthy booking decisions of Vinci. The report pushed for some “key” figures having problems with a dumbstruck portrayal of the 34-year-old on SmackDown.
Giovanni has been built as some next star with the promo packages for the last few weeks. This embarrassing portrayal of the Italian superstar has caused a row among the fans for making him look like a fool. He was on a hiatus of over 4 months after being kicked out of the Imperium by Ludwig Kaiser.
The former NXT Tag Team Champion was quite ashamed of his loss. It is going to be interesting to see how things are going to be for the 34-year-old from here on after such an awful start to the new run.
Giovanni Vinci reacted to his loss following SmackDown
Giovanni Vinci was interviewed backstage following SmackDown. He was asked how it felt after being embarrassed on his return. He had some audacious statements for the referee and Apollo Crews as well.
Vinci said that he was not ready. He claimed the former Intercontinental Champion hit him up from behind. Giovanni said that his entrance gear was on, and the referee still counted him. He accused Crews of being a coward who attacked people from behind.
Don't even ask the question. I've got a question for you. When is the last time you've seen a match start without the referee checking both competitors if they're ready? Yeah, I haven't seen it either.Giovanni Vinci following SmackDown
Moreover, Giovanni has declared to be after Apollo Crews from here on out. If WWE is going after this path, it means fans might witness a few more embarrassing moments for the 34-year-old. It seems like the singles run of the Italian superstar is going to be filled with bumps.
