Aggravated assault case against AEW’s Cash Wheeler dropped

Cash Wheeler is no longer going to trial.

PWInsider first reported that the state of Florida has entered a nolle prosequi (decline to pursue) notice regarding Wheeler’s aggravated assault with a firearm charge on Monday, officially closing the case, which was due to proceed to a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday afternoon. The trial date had been set for May 20.

The legal proceedings stem from an incident that took place in Orange County, Florida on July 27 of last year in which Cash Wheeler allegedly was in a “road rage incident” where he allegedly flashed a gun. Wheeler pleaded not guilty on all charges and was arraigned in August after a warrant for his arrest was filed.

In the time since his initial arrest, Wheeler has continued to be featured as a part of the FTR tag team along with Dax Harwood on AEW television. The two are scheduled to team with Eddie Kingston and Bryan Danielson as they will take on The Elite in an Anarchy at the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing on Memorial Day weekend.
