While most wrestlers have kept quiet since the lawsuit was announced, AEW star Joey Janela has actually come out in favour of WWE, explaining he has issues with MLW’s current contracts.
Janela alleges new MLW contracts ban talent from working with GCW, and therefore he “hopes the titan puts them out”.
This dude has “No GCW” written into his new contracts because I called him out for taking advantage of young talent…
I hope the titan puts em out… https://t.co/N2z9sSbby3

“WWE believes these claims have no merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against them.”
