AEW Star Confirms He Will Not Be Re-Signing With The Company

Catch him down the road. The AEW roster is quite the mixture of young stars, up and coming wrestlers and legends. The grouping has turned into a unique mixture, which has allowed AEW to present a wide variety of matches. AEW keeps bringing in new names though, meaning some wrestlers are going to have to leave. Now we know another one who won’t be back for the time being.

During an interview with Instinct Culture, AEW’s Joey Janela announced that he will not be re-signing with the company when his contract expires on May 1. This comes after Janela had said that he would be re-signing in previous interviews. Janela said that while he is satisfied with his time in AEW, the company goes radio silent on wrestlers they are not going to renew. While he wishes AEW would talk to him more, he considers AEW President Tony Khan to be a friend and appreciates his time with the company.

Opinion: This doesn’t seem to be the biggest surprise as Janela has not appeared on Dynamite or a pay per view in some time. AEW has changed a lot in the last few years and that means there is not going to be room for everyone involved. At the end of the day though, the two sides had a deal for X time and now that time has expired and they can go their separate ways. That isn’t a bad thing and Janela does not seem bitter or upset, so things could be worse.

What did you think of Janela’s time in AEW? Where do you see him going next? Let us know in the comments below.
