10 Wrestlers Who Still Have Something To Prove In AEW
6. Joey Janela
Some people love him and others love to hate him but there’s no two ways about it, Joey Janela is a star on the indie wrestling scene. “The Bad Boy” was never going to make it to WWE but he was one of those guys whose very existence proved that the WWE model was far too limited anyway.
Willing to put his body on the line for crazy bumps and death matches and a canny enough businessman to set up his own successful Spring Break events, Janela’s creative mind and gift for self promotion should have been a great benefit to a promotion like AEW. Sadly, incredible Dark match with Kenny Omega aside, Janela has struggled to transition to the role of TV star.
Longtime Janela fans and AEW diehards would love to see Jim Cornette and his ilk proved wrong on this one but Joey will need more than tennis racket sight gags to win over the doubters.
