Janela discusses his altercation with Enzo.
On July 9, news broke that Enzo Amore and Joey Janela got into a fight following a blink-182 concert. The fight wasn't all some cracked it up to be with Janela calling it, "the worst fist fight ever." Speaking to Matt & Nick Jackson on Wrestlers Ordering Room Service, Janela recalled the details of the "fight."
"We went to the blink-182 show and were joking around like, 'Enzo is probably here. So I said, 'If he's here, I'm gonna fight him.' We look on his Instagram story, and he's [there]. I go, 'Let's go find his seat.' We can't find his seat; I get a little more blackout drunk. As I'm walking out, there's a guy in front of me with a fedora and what looks like a potato sack on it, and I go, 'Holy shit. He's right there.' So I run up, punch him in the chest, and go, 'Hey, I'm Joey Janela, you wanna fight?' He was real caught off guard. So he throws up his hands and we do this Three Stooges 'punch each other in the fist' situation. I punch him in the arm and he punches me in the face. Then his friend starts filming. I look like a bitch, but it is what it is," said Janela.
While Janela and Enzo weren't on the best of terms that night, Janela revealed that things had calmed down when they recently ran into each other.
"A couple weeks ago, I met up with Enzo Amore, for the first time after our little [altercation]. I see him outside, and I think there might be an issue. Walk right up, and he gives me a big hug. He's like, 'More sober this time, kid? We really got em. Let's make some money.' I was like, 'Dude, no. I was drunk and I really tried to fight you.' 'We got em kid.'"
Janela is currently signed to AEW while Enzo (going by nZo on the Independent scene) remains a free agent. Janela recently battled Kenny Omega in a dark match following Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite. The show will air as part of AEW Dark on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
