Joey Janela Vs Nick Wayne | DEFYNOW | NOV. 25, 2021

JOEY JANELA tests NICK WAYNE this week on an all new #DEFYNOW; it's a Thanksgiving treat as this episode is completely FREE!
Next Week at defyondemand.v... it's The Briscoe Brothers Vs The Reavers from DEFY "Brutalist"!

[@GetDerezzed]

This is made so much better when you realize Joey was supposed to win. He called an audible mid-match because he wanted to put Nick Wayne over. Joey Janela is the GOAT and the sky is the limit for Nick.

[@nickpineau4139]

Pretty sure the camera catches Janela saying “I’m not winning” at 26:28

[@codyanderson5467]

coming back to rewatch this match after the news broke about Nick being offered a contract by AEW. Joey kept his word, Nick is going to be a huge star. i know it will be a few years, but I cant wait for Nick to show up on TV.

[@stormshado1788]

Same

[@_queerauntie]

The house was absolutely electric for this

[@gregthegroove]

Nick Wayne v.s. Hook in AEW is gonna be great. IMO, Hook vs Wayne should be a lifelong feud. Make it exactly like what Hunter tried with Gargano/Ciampa.

[@thesmokesection9860]

idk you man but take my money! that would be amazing.

[@SN0GG99]

I was thinking this too. Maybe like a friendly feud? I don't know about you, but I think them in a tag team match would be so fucking hype. I'd also love to see Nick face off against Darby Allin, that'd be sick.

[@ralphvarner483]

Greg, just the other day, after watching a match featuring HOOK, I was asked just who I thought would be a great match-up for him. My answer immediately was Nick. It should be a dandy. I hadn't thought about a lifelong feud between these two, but it sounds like a great idea.

[@hectorvelez9709]

This is some MOTY shit right here. I don't want to hear any more Janela can't work bullshit.

[@drew3493]

Joey Janela is the man. Great match. So excited rewatching it for Nick and his future.

[@Stryker1501]

After watching the AEW signing I had to know more about Nick. I knew there was someone special I wasn't watching yet.

[@LegendofTheCosmic7]

Same!

[@thatdudejuju]

20:01 is quite possible one of the best sequences I’ve ever seen. Joey obviously loved this match and I am so happy Nick Wayne got himself an AEW contract. He is going to be a goddamn star in no time.

[@happyawesometriviatime6157]

when are they going to do an angle where the cops come and arrest Nick's opponent for assaulting a minor, slowly making him the champ? LOL

[@sangan3202]

show this to anyone asking who nick is

[@Shocktimus989]

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this live, and I will say the camera microphones do not do the crowd justice at the pop of the finish. It was one of the loudest reactions I've ever heard. Needless to say this is the greatest match I've ever seen in person.

[@lemsdarkapprentice2535]

wow, that sounds like it was incredible [el'sda2].

[@CrystalFissure]

This kid is fucking good. And don't sleep on Janela. Don't listen to shock jock fuckheads who grift their audience into thinking Janela isn't a tremendous wrestler.

[@JimVincent]

This will be my go-to example for anyone who says anything bad about Joey. Amazing match.

[@Manesson]

Didnt know Nick Wayne until that match, cant wait to see more of this young talent. Only 16 and training since he was 9, future all time great maybe ? The future will tell. Nice theme btw (T.I is one of if not the best of his generation imo)

[@leobardoestrada848]

Good news he offers a contract by Darby allin aew

[@omegasteel926]

Defy is the best Independent company hands down...please do a show in Detroit....Mad Love from the D

[@RngmonsterX]

I have to rewatch this.. CONGRATS NICK WAYNE!!!

[@kurtnourse5320]

nick wayne is aew wrestling bound he's all ready all elite from the elite k.w.n.

[@jayelder20]

He was just offered an AEW contract, & Darby Allin was the one to hand it to him

[@prince.baileyy]

When joey praised him at the end>>> such a goat

[@marcusl9669]

This was my first Defy show and damn what an introduction

[@jasonsalazar3774]

This kid is 16… what a fuckin badass

[@johncarolina4950]

I literally remember listening to Buddy Wayne talk about Nick as a baby on podcasts and here he is. I'm only 32!!!!

[@jamieh711]

Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@frankryan3998]

Unbelievable match.

[@kulinnayak186]

Awesome match between Nick and Joey.

[@Aaron-pw6zw]

The best match I've seen at Defy,hands down

[@danjackson1016]

What a guy. Looking forward to seeing him work with Dante Martin.

[@keverson_2320]

HES. ONLY 16?????

[@LENIER_RODRIGUEZ]

One of the most incredible match of this year (2021). This guy is the present future of the American wrestling 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

He weighs less than 100 pounds 😂

[@kavhart]

@@noneofyourbusiness1114 if Christopher Daniels vouches for him , he's good.

[@johnrumsey8905]

😂 Christopher Daniels couldn’t draw 10 cents worth of Chinese money. This is more cosplay wrestling. Workrate garbage.

[@kavhart]

@@johnrumsey8905 and you're spending your free time going through this garbage wrestling comments because?

[@johnrumsey8905]

Well yea. Clearly. 😂 Because I want to see the bogus hype created on these Indy darlings. You probably think Omega is better than Rick Rude.

[@YY-bl1is]

I Like independent wrestling！

[@tater82]

This kid is gonna do big things. Hell yea nick wayne 🏆

[@ShinyHubCaps]

Came here after the Nick Wayne news and he is as advertised, very much a young Will Ospreay, but can we get some love for Joey Janela?! He is so versatile, can work as face or heel, one of the best sellers in wrestling (one of the few, ha).

[@rmpbuyung]

20:00 was my favorite momment

[@backwoodsman1365]

Love this. But I Wanna see the briscoes match. Where’s that shit?

[@markmotuzas8348]

This kid is fucking insanely good! He is gonna be a huge star in AEW considering Dante Martin is becoming huge.

[@PrettyPabloSZN]

Pretty good match. Hope janela continues to get in better shape. He could be a big part of aew

[@jgeorge2693]

Janela hasn’t been on tv in aew in six months most likely they aren’t going to renew his conract

[@SearchGames1]

[@sangan3202]

he looks fine idk why everyone harps only on him for having a "bad shape" when that has never defined a wrestler

[@untitled440]

@@sangan3202 imo he doesn’t have a bad body but not working on it and only get fucking wasted is not good. I rather show someone on tv who is working on their body and on themselves rather than someone who doesn’t look up to par and not even trying to improve it

[@mikeroach6741]

Nick Wayne's talented, about 10 mins overkill and made no sense the story

[@ryandavis4448]

Janella is in better shape now then his entire AEW run.

[@Kagaines]

What is that popping sound when a hit connects? It’s not the hits. Sounds the same every time.

[@rogermccalmont8421]

Nick Wayne will be a world champion for aew legend will b made all we need to do is watch

[@BigHoss1971]

I can see why AEW wanted to sign him very talented to be so young

[@ThebabyboyTv]

This man entrance music is T.I I love it

Flashback in the late November of 2021

[@ANTICHRISTJC]

Call HOOK

[@kendrickgraham5760]

You can't count this kid out not one but. Nick Wayne got tanasity, heart, and guys to go head to head toe to toe with legends like joey janela and Shane swerve Strickland.

[@LegendofTheCosmic7]

Janela looks good he's been listening and learning and with GCW I think hes definitely one of the pioneers of modern wrestling. It's good that corny doesn't like today's style but combined with the pacing and tricks of traditional rasslin it's really good looks smooth

[@LegendofTheCosmic7]

Maybe I'll be the one to pull the trigger on a feather weight division and book it like new Japan does with it's smaller guys.

[@SirAdamantine]

Is he 18 yet?

[@jada4725]

not yet, but he'll be making his aew debut June 12th
