Last night at WrestlePro, a backstage incident with Big Cass nearly disrupted what was supposed to be a happy night for Pat Buck as he moved on to being a full-time producer in WWE.
One of the big targets of Big Cass' erratic behavior was Joey Janela. Janela had recently been recorded having a scrap with Enzo Amore, the friend, and regular on-screen partner of Big Cass, at a blink-182 concert.
Cass was reportedly so disruptive that Joey and Dan Maff were moved to a private area to be able to go over their upcoming match that evening.
Fightful Select reported that Joey Janela opted not to press charges and PWInsider reported that both men were sharing a locker room the night before for Northeast Wrestling show and acted very professional and cordial towards one another.
Joey Janela took to Twitter to offer these brief public comments about the incident.
Not gonna elaborate at all on this whole deal besides that it was probably the bizzare situation I’ve ever seen let alone been a part of in a wrestling locker room in 15 years, everything was cordial and friendly Friday and I hope the dude gets back on the right track...

Cass opened up earlier this year about a battle with substance abuse as well as depression and anxiety on the official DDP Yoga YouTube channel in an effort to battle those demons. Cass left the arena last night in an ambulance after authorities reportedly heard him making alarming statements about himself.
