Joey Janela confirms the injury that has kept him out of the ring.
Joey Janela was a guest on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast and confirmed he’s currently dealing with a concussion.
“I’ll be coming back soon. I’m dealing with a little injury right now, a little concussion deal. Shit happens, everyone knows that, in wrestling, all sports. I’ll be cleared in the coming weeks, maybe this coming weekend,” Janela explained, “so I’ll be good. Hopefully I’ll be doing some AEW stuff soon, things were about to pick up for me there right before that happened.
“I’ve got a couple of GCW shows, I think I’m on every GCW show this summer. We’ve got shows in July in Texas, Houston and Dallas. The next week they go to Mexico but I won’t be there for that, then the weekend after that it’s the big show in Atlantic City, Homecoming, I’m going to be on those shows. They’ll be some of the biggest GCW shows ever.”
Janela said he’s pretty packed this summer with GCW events, noting that he chooses to just work with them since it’s his home promotion besides AEW. He added that he’ll be doing commentary on any shows he’s not wrestling on to sharpen his own skills.
Janela previously confirmed he was dealing with an injury on June 1, explaining that it would cause him to miss his scheduled in-ring appearances in June. Despite announcing he was injured, he did not say what the injury was, or how it happened, at that time.
“Unfortunately I have some bad news. I was schedule to wrestle Ninja Mac, this Sunday at Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) in Atlantic City, I’m going to have to withdraw from that match. I’m dealing with an injury, I’m not cleared by the doctor and we don’t know the severity of it yet and I think the same is going to happen with my match in Wyoming for GCW. It’s sucks, this sh*t happens, I’ve dealt with it WAY too much over the past couple years. But I’ve got some good news, I will definitely be in Atlantic City doing commentary this Sunday and I think on Saturday I’ll also be doing some commentary for the tournament of survival and I think the same is gonna go for Wyoming. Another bit of good news is I’m almost 85% sure that I will be in Texas and I will be cleared to compete against some young stallions. I think that Ninja Mac match will happen in July, we’re gonna figure out a rescheduling for that and sh*t happens, it’s wrestling and we’re gonna just keep on rolling. Let the summer begin, baby…bad boy summer!”
