Joey Janela will work with CM Punk, but on one condition.
'The Bad Boy' recently took to Twitter and joined in on the fun discourse surrounding CM Punk and his potential return to All Elite Wrestling. With rumors swirling about people who would want to and people who wouldn't want to work with Punk, Janela jokingly noted that he would work with the former AEW World Champion, but only on the condition that he watches all of the Rocky movies in a row and live streams his reactions.
Ok guys here it is I’ll work with CM Punk, only on one condition he watches every Rocky movie in a row and live streams it like Shia LaBeouf watching his own films…

Janela also jokingly noted that Brett Lauderdale, owner of GCW, will let him take off some Saturdays to work with Punk's schedule. A popular rumor going around is that Punk will mainly work on the promotion's long rumored Saturday show.

In a Instagram rant back in March, Punk claimed that he has never seen any of the Rocky movies, which surprised quite a few fans.
Joey Janela departed from All Elite Wrestling back in May 2022. He has since mainly worked for Game Changer Wrestling.
