Megan Bayne And Her Boyfriend, Joey Janela, Share A Mutual Love For Wrestling
A power couple is a duo who not only share love but also share great success. Their relationship inspires others seeking love to build a relationship based on love, respect, support, ambition, and influence.
We have known many powerful couples who have built lives together through shared hard work and competence and support each other at every milestone.
Megan Bayne and Joey Janela, stars of AEW, are one such couple. Their relationship has enamored wrestling fans and the media, as they often share their moments on social media.
While the exact details about how they met and when their relationship started remain ambiguous, the couple has been the staunchest supporters of one another.
Moreover, their shared interest and passion for wrestling must have been a factor that brought them closer.
Described as one of the top independent performers in the U.S., Megan is an AEW wrestler who makes appearances on Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and House of Glory (HOG).
The 2019 OVW Women’s Champion uses the Tombstone piledriver as part of her arsenal.
Similarly, her boyfriend, Joey Janela, is best known for his stints with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Major League Wrestling (MLW), Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), and Beyond Wrestling.
Hence, their unique wrestling accomplishments make them an ideal fit for one another.
Horrified, Megan Initially Thought That The Two Wrestlers’ Brawl Was A Part Of A Wrestling Skit
Besides being a terrific wrestler and driven lady, Megan Bayne is also a loving and dotting girlfriend.
She attends almost every significant event or tournament of her boyfriend, Joey, showing her less intimidating side.
Similarly, like other events, Megan attended Joey’s recent meet-and-greet event on January 31, 2025, following the Game Changer Wrestling Up All Night event in Indianapolis.
However, the event swiftly devolved into chaos and danger following an altercation between Joey Janela and fellow wrestler Dylan Bostic.
The fight started after agitated Bostic approached Janela, flipping over Janela’s table.
Bostic’s unexpected and rude behavior led the two to engage briefly in a physical confrontation.
In the viral video, Janela was able to gain control and pin Bostic down.

Fortunately, other wrestlers and security personnel intervened to separate the two wrestlers.
Similarly, in the same video, Megan appeared puzzled and clueless about what was happening. Janela subsequently stated that she mistook the altercation for a wrestling skit.
Tonight 4 years later he flipped me and Megan’s gimmick table over, to confront me and we got into a scuffle, which resulted in the GCW crew thinking I was getting attacked by a deranged fan & Megan thinking it was some weird Joey janela skit… Sorry to all the fans that had to witness that it was an extremely embarrassing situation & sorry to all the Indianapolis crew that wanted to put on a great weekend of independent wrestling for the city. Sorry if I contributed to any of the unneeded drama.

Later, the public realized that Bostic’s actions stemmed from a past grudge.
After the incident, Bostic posted the video of his altercation on X, implying it was payback for a past incident between the two.
Likewise, Janela disclosed the reason behind Bostic’s hostility and violence—the past grudge dates back to late 2020, after the untimely demise of Brodie Lee.
Gonna nip this in the butt there’s a Video circulating of me getting ambushed at my table while I was meeting fans after the show tonight, it stems from him airing his grievances about his experience doing AEW extra work the day after brodie lee’s death that a lot of us were very…

Janela grew upset with Bostic because he opted to publicly complain about his experience working as an extra in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) shortly after Lee’s death.
The timing of his complaints appeared inappropriate as the wrestling world mourned Lee’s passing.
Hence, this disagreement led to tension between them. The bitterness eventually transformed into a violent altercation at the GCW “Up All Night” event in 2025.
While Janela did not press any charges against Bostic, he did say that he may have ripped his right biceps during his battle that night, which added to the chaos.
After the footage of the incident went viral, many fans supported Janela, harshly attacking Bostic for his unprofessionalism and belligerence.
