Joey Janela Needs Major Surgery After Suffering Injury

Joey Janela is dealing with a brutal injury that could put him on the shelf for a long time.

The former AEW star took to social media on Sunday to reveal that he’s not only dealing with a complete ruptured bicep but also nerve damage that has left him without feeling in two of his fingers. To make matters worse, he says surgery is coming fast.

Janela posted a statement on X detailing the severity of his condition. “In the hospital, just got to see a doctor. Looks like now after my match yesterday and attack today by Atticus, I not only have a complete ruptured bicep but also nerve damage to the arm that’s affecting my arm all the way down to the hand. I currently have no feeling in my ring and pinky finger. We are looking for options but it seems a major surgery is imminent in the morning. I’m sorry to everyone, things aren’t looking too good.”

This is a devastating situation for Janela, who has been one of the most active wrestlers on the independent scene since leaving AEW. The injury appears to have happened during a match over the weekend, and it seems an attack from Atticus Cogar may have made things worse.

Janela hasn’t provided further updates yet, but based on his message, it looks like he could be out for a significant amount of time. Fans are now waiting to see how long his recovery will take and what this means for his future in the ring.
