Joey Janela Upset With AEW, Big Guest Set For KO Show

Joey Janela Deletes Tweet On His Missing AEW Dynamite

According to a now-deleted message on Twitter, Joey Janela did not get on his scheduled plane to AEW Dynamite and has not heard from the promotion.

The 30-year-old Janela was one of the first wrestlers signed to a contract with All Elite Wrestling by Cody Rhodes and in January. According to reports, his deal allows him to work for other promotions, but runs through 2022.

On his official Twitter page, Janela wrote “Didn’t get on my flight for AEW Dynamite, I’m not going. Nothing was addressed about the way I was eliminated from the match last week, I’m losing all the steam I created on my own through 14 years of hard work, right these wrongs and answer the phone.”

The match Janela was referring to was the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale in which he was eliminated by Shawn Spears during a commercial break. There was no promotion for him to appear this week on the show.

Janela also lost to Spears during Full Gear earlier this month. He earned his first AEW victory in October with a singles win over Brandon Cutler.
