He was one of the 32 participants who competed in the mentioned tournament. Unfortunately, he got eliminated in the very first round of the tournament by “Gentleman” Jack Gallagher.

He did not get the WWE contract of his dreams instantly after losing in the mentioned tournament. His dream came true in June 2017 when he finally got the opportunity to sign a professional contract with WWE and after signing the contract he was assigned to the NXT which is the developmental territory of WWE.
NXT Career

In December 2017, he teamed up with Marcel Barthel and formed a tag team. Marcel Barthel is currently known by the name of Ludwig Kaiser in the main roster.
Tag Team Success in the NXT
Later, the duo aligned with the NXT United Kingdom Champion Walter (Gunther) and formed Imperium. Vinci and Barthel had been pretty successful together in NXT as they won the NXT Tag Team Championship a couple of times. In 2022, Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser arrived in the main roster but Vinci was left in the NXT where he had to spend a little more time.
Main Roster Career, Recent Days
Soon he became a part of the main roster by reforming Imperium in the main roster. But after joining the main roster he could never be anything more than a jobber. He had definitely been a valuable member of Imperium, Gunther on the other hand remained undefeated in the main roster, and Kaiser also received some victories, but Vinci had been treated pretty poorly. We hope his status improves in the future.
