Independent wrestling standout “Boy Boy” Joey Janela got some bad news on Tuesday.
Janela, who is coming off a high profile match at the sold out ALL IN event in Chicago a few weeks ago against Hangman Page, revealed he will be out of action for at least a year.
Janela suffered a serious knee injury during an appearance for GCW Wrestling.

Janela announced in a statement on Twitter today that he will need to undergo surgery next week to repair his knee. As a result of the injury and pending surgery, WWN announced they have stripped him of the WWN Championship.
