AEW has officially responded to the arrest of Cash Wheeler, one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions, on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm. Wheeler was taken into custody by the Orlando Police Department and subsequently charged. The arrest has raised questions about potential changes in AEW’s booking, especially with the upcoming “All In London” event.

In a statement to PW Insider, AEW mentioned, “AEW has been made aware of the charge and we are closely monitoring the situation. He is fully cooperating with local authorities.” The specifics of the incident leading to Wheeler’s arrest remain undisclosed.
