In regard to the many of you asking about Cash Wheeler's status for All In: London, PWInsider.com has confirmed Wheeler was NOT asked to surrender his passport by the Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida today.

There are currently no restrictions on Wheeler traveling internationally that have been imposed by the court.


Since Wheeler has not been convicted of a crime, it does not currently appear he will have any issues traveling to London for the event.
 
As reported earlier on PWInsider.com, AEW Tag Team Champion Cash Wheeler was arrested after turning himself in last night after being charged with aggravated assault with a firearm in Florida.

At his arraignment this morning, the prosecution noted that the incident was "believed to be a road rage incident" and that during that incident Wheeler allegedly "flashed a gun" at the other party.


Wheeler's attorney stated that he did not know the other party. The word victims, as in plural, was used during the proceedings.

Wheeler's bond was set for $2500 and he was ordered to turn in any weapons he may own to the Orange County Sherriff's Office within 12 hours of his release pending the resolution of the criminal case against him. He was also ordered to not have any contact with the alleged victims or any witnesses.

Wheeler previously plead not guilty via his attorney on 8/3.

Wheeler’s accuser, recorded by a police offcer. It’s dated July 28, 2023. It is important to note that this is just an accusation, of a crime for which Wheeler has pled not guilty, and that the legal process to determine guilt or innocence has just begun.

While the document is in the public record, we have redacted personal information for both parties:

[Alleged victim] stated he was driving west on Interstate [x] north of Exit [xx]. He noticed [what was later determined to be Wheeler’s car] weaving in and out of traffic honking its horn, so he moved to the far-right lane to let the [vehicle] pass. [Alleged victim] said the [vehicle] took the right shoulder to drive around him on the passenger side of his vehicle. [Alleged victim] looked over and noticed a white male with a beard pointing a semi-automatic handgun out of the driver’s window at him with a strong stare. [Alleged victim] said he feared for his life at this time. [Alleged victim] stated he slowed down to get out of the way of the firearm and ended up behind the suspect vehicle at this time. At this time both were committed to exit [xx]. [Alleged victim] took pictures of the [suspect vehicle] bearing [a license plate registered to Wheeler]. After taking the picture, [Alleged victim] said he called 911 and gave vehicle information to dispatch the details of what occurred. He explained he could not be late for work and asked the officer to meet him at his work.

The affidavit goes on to explain the alleged victim was able to pick Wheeler out of a six photo array presented to him by the officer. Combined with his sworn statement, the photo identification gave police probable cause to get a warrant for Wheeler’s arrest.

UPDATE: PWInsider reports that an arrest warrant was issued for Cash Wheeler on July 28. That means this incident happened weeks ago and not overnight.
Wheeler filed a plea of not guilty, via his attorney, with the Orange County, Florida circuit court on August 3. His charge, aggravated assault with a firearm, is a third degree felony in the State of Florida. He will have a hearing at 1 PM this afternoon.

sounds like roid rage if you ask me..... Khan has yo make a tough decision as far as punishing him.
 
With Adam "Edge" Copeland stating that last night's Friday Night Smackdown bout against Sheamus was the final in his current WWE contract, that has left readers wondering if he would be contractually able to walk out of WWE and appear in AEW, even as soon as All In: London next week.

That's not likely to happen.


The word backstage at Smackdown last night was that Copeland's actual WWE deal is expected to expire in October. That was based on comments Copeland made locally on a sports radio station this week in Toronto as well as comments made backstage.

If that is accurate, it would give the two sides time to negotiate a new deal, especially once Endeavor officially aquires WWE in mid-September.

Of course, we should give the caveat that when PWInsider.com reported Copeland was returning to WWE to wrestle, he publicly denied it all the way to his actual return to the ring at the 2020 Royal Rumble, so it could always be that the word being passed around isn't 100% accurate.
