As noted before, Joey Janela had announced earlier this month that he would no longer be working for or with Orange Crush’s PRODUCE Wrestling going forward due to his issues involving PRODUCE promoter Adam Abdalla. Besides Janela, former WWE and TNA and current indies talent Steph De Lander also recently went public stating that she would no longer be working for PRODUCE going forward.
A Game Changer Wrestling fan Fawn Michaels on Thursday on Twitter claimed that Abdalla was “unsafe” and predatory” towards women and accused him of sexual assault, harassment, and grooming. Michaels shared screenshots of texts she had with Abdalla for her evidence for her allegations against him.
Just an example of what corresponding with Adam is like whenever you ask the simplest of questions…with nothing to warrant a response such as this… pic.twitter.com/x7VnvZ8w4i

Janela posted a statement earlier today on Twitter also accusing Abdalla of committing predatory and other inappropriate behavior towards women wrestlers and fans.
Janela stated that six women have contacted him in the last two weeks with stories of Abdalla’s inappropriate behavior towards them including attempts at luring them back to his apartment for sexual-related reasons.
“There’s no plot, nor collusion with former acquaintances to get Adam Abdalla (Orange Crush) out of here.
6 women, 6 WOMEN hit me up in the last 2 weeks with stories of Predatory behavior, sexual abuse etc
From Booking Female Talent (He never talked to in his life) and in the same sentence asking them to get drinks with him.
To talent accepting that offer and getting lured back to his apartment and propositioned group sex with him and girlfriend(s)
To meeting & paying wrestling fans Money to have sex with them.
These women do not want their names out there, because they don’t want something like this to follow their careers.
Fawn was willing to speak & tell her story, to help stop a clear pattern.
For me to use sexual assault, Misconduct, and abuse as a way to snake someone out of the business politically over a wrestling beef would be absolutely disgusting & If I wanted to get him “cANceLeD” I would’ve just posted the screenshot of him calling me the F slur last week but it was more than that.
It was to hold someone accountable for vile behavior in a business where young people get in this to live their dreams but have to deal with advances and worse from someone with power, money and clout.
FUCK YOU if you don’t believe me, it’s always get the bad people out of here.”

Abdalla responded earlier today on Twitter about Janela’s accusations and hinted at him taking potential legal action over criminal defamation against him.
“This has veered into criminal defamation.
You never asked me a question about any of these alleged, damning incidents in all the time we were traveling together and at the same places for the last 7 years. All of a sudden, we have a couple of arguments (one about me being pissed about how you handled a matter of racial sensitivity which you denounced as irrelevant), and now you have a blackmail dossier.
A real selfless hero.
I’ll have something written up.
youre also using hypothetical situation language to describe things I didn’t do and placing them next to things that arent an issue without that context in your tweet.
“Would be absolutely disgusting if”
I have people texting me saying youre accusing me of assault.
Is that what youre doing?”
This has veered into criminal defamation.

Abdalla also responded to the allegations made by Fawn Michaels against him.
“Saw the video posted about me earlier, just now
Have been getting calls and texts for a week about Joey and Brett trying to dig up anything they can possibly find about me.
They’ve been plotting and colluding with a former friend / acquaintance to manufacture a story about my behavior – sending various accounts and false allegations to different people – and gleefully teasing it out if you look at Joey’s twitter.
Here’s a text from Wednesday from Joey.
Here’s a subsequent text this past Thursday between myself and Fawn, pumping me for information while I explained to her what was going on.
I am going to leave these here.
If anyone has questions for me besides veiled threats and out of context screenshots, I am happy to answer any and all questions about this or anything else over the last 7 years regarding myself or GCW on camera.
I may be an asshole, but I don’t lie, and there’s a cold place in hell for Joey and Brett.
I can’t speak to Fawn’s motivations but the below was our last conversation a few days ago.”
