MJF vs. Joey Janela

AEW Dynamite January 22

Janela and MJF traded a number of side headlocks and take-downs at the outset of the match. MJF tried to escape to the outside, but Janela pursued him up the ramp. Seeing Janela approach MJF turned and raked Janela’s eyes. MFJ then ran the length of the ramp and Jenala backdropped him into the ring. Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford came out providing a distraction. When Janela went for the top rope elbow smash, MJF moved out of the way and followed up with the crossroads for the win.
