• “I am not interested in re-signing” – AEW Wrestler

During an interview with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, AEW wrestler Joey Janela revealed that his contract is set to expire on May 1st and he doesn’t plan on re-signing with All Elite Wrestling.

Below are the highlights from this interview:

If he will re-sign with AEW:

“I said in a couple interviews with Sean in September that All Out weekend, I said ‘yes’. Recently, in an interview with Barstool Sports I said ‘yes’. My contract is up on May 1st. And I am gonna have to say no now. I am not interested in re-signing with AEW.”

On indy promoters wanting him back:

“I was a little scared getting back into the independent wrestling world and making money. You take those things for granted, you’re getting a paycheck every two weeks. A pretty good paycheck.

In your head you’re like ‘sh*t, when this is over, this is gonna disappear.’ But I was born a hustler in this business. I was scared to get back into that world but now I am no longer scared.

Back in the day before AEW, I was going out to wrestle for basically nothing. I was just doing it because I love it, I would do 3-4 shows a week. I would rack up small pay days from the promoters, plus my merchandise and I’d be satisfied and I’d be making a lot of money.

But now my price has gone significantly up so I didn’t know if the promoters were gonna welcome me back with open arms. But recently I’ve realized that the promoters know the situation, they realize what the situation is gonna be and they’ve been hitting me up big time.

They say ‘we want you to come back here. We want you to wrestle some of the newer guys we have. We want you to wrestle some of the older guys. We want Joey Janela back.'”

Joey Janela will face 2-time WWE Hall Of Famer X-Pac at Spring Break on March 31st.
