The wrestling world reacts to Cash Wheeler’s arrest for aggravated assault with a firearm.
In a recent episode of the “Hall of Fame” podcast hosted by two-time WWE Hall of Famer and six-time World Champion, Booker T, and “The BOAT” Brad Gilmore, the duo delved into the current happenings in the wrestling world. Among the topics discussed was the arrest of Cash Wheeler, one-half of the AEW Tag Team Champions, FTR.
Cash Wheeler, whose real name is Daniel Wheeler, was arrested by the Orlando Police Department and faces a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm. The Orlando Sentinel was the first to break the story. According to county records, Wheeler was detained and had a hearing scheduled for July 28th. Interestingly, a warrant for Wheeler’s arrest was issued earlier, and he pleaded not guilty to the charge through his attorney.
The specifics of the incident leading to Wheeler’s arrest remain unclear. Was it a domestic dispute, a road rage incident, or something else entirely? The wrestling community and fans are left with more questions than answers.
While the legal proceedings are ongoing, the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation and concern. FTR, the team comprising Cash Wheeler and his partner, are the current AEW Tag Team Champions. They are slated to defend their titles soon, leaving many to wonder about the future of the championship and FTR’s position in AEW.
The “Hall of Fame” podcast episode provided a platform for an open discussion about the incident, emphasizing the need for clarity and hoping for a just resolution.
