AEW/Ninth Judicial Circuit Court UPDATE: AEW itself has now announced an update on the status of Cash Wheeler and the FTR vs Young Bucks match for AEW All In at London Wembley Stadium – click here.
AEW World Champion MJF has publicly addressed the arrest of AEW World Tag Team Champion Cash Wheeler of FTR.
As previously reported, Wheeler, real name Daniel Wheeler, turned himself in today (August 18) after being charged with aggravated assault with a firearm.
The incident was described as was described as a “road rage type incident” where he “allegedly flashed a handgun at the alleged victim”.
A warrant had been out for his arrest since July 28, and on August 3, he’d filed a not guilty plea, which obviously means the incident happened weeks ago.
His bond was set at $2500 today and he was ordered to turn in any weapons he currently owns within 12 hours of being released, and have no contact with the victim, who isn’t someone he knows.
The police report from the incident on July 27 can be found at this link.

Kinda disappointed how many dorks there are on this app that jump to conclusions so quick. A ton of peoples privilege is showing.
We’re all human. We’re all flawed. We all make mistakes. Take it from a guy who’s made more mistakes than most.
I’ve had my ups and downs with FTR but Cash wheeler is a great dude and a bad ass.
You’re getting FTR Vs Young Bucks in front of 80k plus on august 27th.

There are no legal issues stopping Wheeler from travelling to England for AEW All In at London’s Wembley Stadium on August 27.
