Joey Janela is feeling much better.
Janela has been very open about his sobriety journey in recent months, even celebrating his six month anniversary back in January.
As it turns out, Janela has replaced drinking with something that nearly everyone loves -- Popeyes.
"It’s been great, actually." Janela said in a new interview with Fightful Overbooked. "I feel so much healthier. No more missing flights. No more losing my passport and feeling like shit wrestling these crazy indie matches. I did it. A lot of my great indie matches, I was completely hungover. Me and Moxley at Fyter Fest, I was completely hungover. Looking back, I’m like, ‘You had issues or something.’ Why were you doing this the night before shows? I got better with the times. Now, instead of going to the bar after the show, it’s going to the hotel room and ordering some Popeyes chicken and going to bed or not going to bed if the flight is too early. Getting the flight, sleeping on the flight, waking up refreshed and feeling like a princess."
Elsewhere in the interview, Janela previewed his upcoming JCW J-Cup match against Atticus Cogar. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
The JCW J-Cup tournament will stream live on Triller TV on Saturday, February 15 and Sunday, February 16.
