During this week’s WWE RAW, Ludwig Kaiser’s betrayal of Giovanni Vinci shocked fans, but it may have been foreshadowed by a subtle signal from Gunther.
After Gunther’s WrestleMania loss, fans anticipated his pursuit of the Intercontinental title. However, he surprised everyone by announcing his aim to compete in the King of the Ring tournament.
Following a defeat to The New Day, tension within Imperium escalated. Vinci, often the pinned member of the group, faced Kaiser’s wrath after their loss. Gunther’s departure from the ring before Kaiser’s assault hinted at deeper discord.
Kaiser’s subsequent attack on Vinci cemented his expulsion from Imperium. A backstage interaction between Kaiser and Gunther hinted at premeditation, affirming their decision to oust Vinci.
Gunther’s confirmation of Vinci’s removal was underscored by a cryptic caption on social media, signaling the end of Vinci’s tenure with Imperium.
As Gunther pivots away from the Intercontinental title scene, the future direction of Imperium remains uncertain.
