"The Bad Boy" Joey Janela is coming to NJPW.
During a vignette on the NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed event, Joey Janela appeared to be throwing darts at a picture of Toru Yano. After a few direct hits, he turned to face the camera and flashed A Smile as text revealed that he would be coming to New Japan as part of NJPW Lonestar Shootout on November 10.
AEW previously employed Joey Janela and spends his time currently working on the independent circuit, regularly appearing for GCW.
