Daniel “Cash” Wheeler, the reigning All Elite Wrestling (AEW) World Tag Team Champion, has been arrested in Florida, as revealed by Orange County records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel. Wheeler, 36, is facing charges of aggravated assault with a firearm. AEW has released a statement stating that they are closely monitoring the situation and that Wheeler is fully cooperating with local authorities.
The arrest warrant was issued on July 28, and Wheeler pleaded not guilty on August 3. He and his tag team partner, Dax Harwood, known as FTR, are the current AEW tag team champions. Despite the arrest, the duo made an appearance at Dynamite in Nashville just days before the incident. They are scheduled to defend their title against Matt and Nick Jackson, also known as the “Young Bucks,” on August 23 in a highly anticipated pay-per-view event in London.
Wheeler, along with Harwood, recently signed a new long-term contract with AEW, despite reported interest from their former professional wrestling promotion, WWE. During their tenure in WWE, the duo performed as “The Revival” under the names Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson.
According to Pro wrestling news from the Wrestling Observer, state prosecutors suggested that Wheeler’s arrest may be connected to a “road rage-type incident” where he allegedly brandished a handgun at the alleged victim. The details of the incident remain unspecified.
In conclusion, Daniel “Cash” Wheeler’s arrest has created a significant buzz in the professional wrestling community. AEW is closely following the situation, and fans are eager to see how this incident will impact the upcoming tag team championship match.
