Big opportunity on USA Network for this WWE NXT and NXT UK Superstar of Imperium
As an integral part of the impacting faction Imperium in WWE, Fabian Aichner wrestles for NXT and NXT UK.
In one of his biggest matches to date, Aichner will face Finn Balor on Wednesday during NXT on USA Network. The weekly show starts at 8 p.m. ET.
Aichner is looking forward to the opportunity.
Here is my audio interview with The Pride of Italy, The Italian Roughneck, the first NXT Superstar born in Italy, Fabian Aichner.
He discusses Finn Balor, Imperium, NXT, NXT UK, WWE, coronavirus, Italy, family, training in Germany, Alex Wright, dancing, Arnold Schwarzenegger, languages, Cesaro, pizza and more.
On the April 8th episode of NXT on USA Network, The Prince Balor put Imperium leader and NXT UK Champ WALTER on notice that he is ready to take the NXT UK title.
Imperium members Marcel Barthel and Aichner attacked Balor, after Balor revealed those plans.

And now WALTER is sending Aichner, one of his key stablemates, to thwart those plans on Wednesday on NXT on USA Network.
About Fabian Aichner
Born in South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Italy, Aichner is the most famous person from the small village within that Northern Italian region, which borders Austria and Switzerland.
Aichner speaks 3 1/2 languages, catching up to the smart and strong Swiss Superman Cesaro, who now speaks about 100 languages.
Trained by WCW alum Alex Wright at New Sport Entertainment GmbH in Germany, Aichner debuted in 2011 for Wright’s New European Championship Wrestling.
Representing Italy, Aichner was selected to participate in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic in 2016. He impressed WWE and signed with the company in 2017. He was assigned to the WWE Performance Center training facility in Orlando and competed for NXT.
Aichner, 29, is a former Evolve champion, winning the title in 2018 by beating Shane Strickland (now NXT Superstar Isaiah Swerve Scott). Austin Theory later that year won the Evolve championship from Aichner, before dropping it to Josh Briggs. The young Theory, 22, recently joined the NXT roster, too.
Imperium (NXT UK Champ WALTER, Alexander Wolfe, Marcel Barthel and Aichner) is the only contingent working both NXT and NXT UK, and Aichner is proud to be part of WWE with Imperium via the NXT and NXT UK brands.
Aichner idolized WWE Hall of Famer, champion bodybuilder, actor and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and hopes to meet him one day.
Fabian Aichner bio via WWE
Intense. Fabian Aichner uses this word to describe himself, and it certainly fits. The elite competitor has come a long way since his humble beginnings in an Italian village of fewer than 2,000 people. Finding purpose in the squared circle, he made a name for himself in Europe thanks to his eye-popping combination of strength and speed.
Only the third Italian-born Superstar ever in WWE — following WWE Hall of Famers Bruno Sammartino and Dominick Denucci — Aichner made his WWE debut in the historic Cruiserweight Classic. The chiseled workhouse turned heads with his high-flying arsenal and powerful stature, and that was before he appeared in NXT in September 2017 with even more muscle packed on to his sturdy frame.
Now aligned with NXT UK Champ WALTER, Alexander Wolfe and Marcel Barthel in the dominant Imperium faction, this impressive Superstar has the force, velocity and confidence to dominate NXT UK and beyond.
