Daniel "Cash" Wheeler has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a firearm by the Orlando Police Department.
The news was reported first by the Orlando Sentinel, who also noted that Wheeler was arrested in Orange County then released from jail on Friday after posting a $2,500 bond.
ProWrestling.net procured a statement from All Elite Wrestling shortly afterwards. It said;
“AEW has been made aware of the charge, and we are closely monitoring the situation. He is fully cooperating with local authorities.”
Further follow up from X user @mearn produced police records of the arrest occuring on July 27th, with a "written plea of Not Guilty" on August 8th.

Wheeler is currently one half of the AEW Tag Team Champions alongside FTR partner David "Dax" Harwood. The two are currently scheduled to face The Young Bucks in one of the feature matches on the ALL IN London card on August 27th. As of writing there has been no update provided if this news changes that, or indeed Wheeler's status for other shows. Beyond internal company policies or any further decisions taken by AEW, there may be legal complexities around Harwood's ability to travel to the United Kingdom for the show.
More details to follow on the story in the coming days as and when it breaks.
