Joey Janela vs. Kota Ibushi set for Spring Break 7

Joey Janela’s opponent for his Spring Break event is now set.

Janela announced on Twitter Wednesday night that he will face Kota Ibushi. This year’s Spring Break event will take place on March 31 at the Ukrainian Cultural Center.

“My whole career has been dedicated to being selfless, young guys & gals or older that are giving it or gave it all to this business & getting them the respect they deserve!, Janela wrote. “But it’s my TIME! I will put on the best performance of career! For those that support me, Thank you.”

Other matches set for Joey Janela’s Spring Break include Speedball Mike Bailey vs. El Hijo Del Vikingo and The Motor City Machine Guns vs. East West Express (Jordan Oliver and Nick Wayne) for the GCW Tag Team titles. Maki Itoh and Nick Gage will also team together on the show, though their opponents have not been named.

Ibushi is also set for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport on March 30, where he is scheduled to face Bailey. It will be his first match since October of 2021, when he injured his shoulder in that year’s G1 Climax finals against Kazuchika Okada. His contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expired earlier this year.
