JOEY JANELA INJURY LAST NIGHT (UPDATED WITH VIDEO)

Joey Janela appeared to have seriously injured his knee at the show tonight. He did a dive onto the outside onto Psicosis during their singles bout for Game Changer Wrestling in New Jersey.  When he returned to the ring, Janela was obviously limping.

The match was obviously cut short, when Janela's long-time manager Penelope Ford crotched Psicosis on the top turned buckle, and hit a twisting hurricanrana. Somehow, Janela superkicked Psicosis and scored a quick pinfall.

After the match, Janela got on the mic and apologized profusely to the crowd about the match and his injury. He said he "knew" this one was bad.  He was obviously shaken up by the entire thing. He had a moment where he broke down saying how his career had such momentum and now this would derail it for a while.

GCW staff were requesting a lot of ice for Joey after the match, and Janela did go the hospital to get everything checked out.

Note from Mike Johnson: PWInsider.com has reached out to Janela, who thus far has only made the following public comments:
