All Elite Wrestling's Joey Janela could be set to deliberately no-show tonight's episode of Dynamite after claiming he didn't board his flight to Chicago, Illinois, with his since-deleted tweet citing what looks like creative frustrations.

Here's what 'The Bad Boy' posted before hitting the delete button:-

Janela was eliminated from last week's Diamond Dozen Battle Royale when rival Shawn Spears struck him with a steel chair while he was on the top rope, with Joey falling all the way to the floor.

Currently sitting on an overall record of 2-4 in AEW, Janela lost to Spears at Full Gear on 9 November, with his only victories so far coming on Dark. He has, however, been allowed to showcase his considerable talents in bouts with Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega, with his and 'The Cleaner's' Lights Out unsanctioned match drawing widespread critical acclaim on Dark's 15 October episode.

There's every chance this is a work, of course. Such possibilities can never be ruled out in pro-wrestling, particularly when it comes to someone like Janela - a sharp social media user. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see whether or not this is addressed on Dynamite.
