WOR Video: Should AEW push back FTR vs. Young Bucks?

  • F4W Staff

Should the Young Bucks/FTR match still take place? That was the question asked on Wrestling Observer Radio Friday.

On Friday, it was revealed that Cash Wheeler appeared in court following an incident that took place in July where Wheeler drew a weapon at a motorist during a road rage incident. He was arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm and has since bonded out. This all comes just days before All In on August 27 in Wembley Stadium.

“It puts Tony Khan in a really bad position,” Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio. “Because you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”

“He can go to England. They can do the match if they really wanted to,” he added, “There will be much criticism if they do. I think there will be less criticism if they don’t, but then you got to replicate a match that was possibly going to be the best match on the show.”

Garrett Gonzales asked if perhaps they could do it the following week at All Out in Chicago. But Meltzer thought that if they were to do the match so soon, they may as well just do it at All In. But he also said that perhaps it may be best to wait it out.

“If he’s cleared and everything’s right at that point do you do the match I would say 100%,” he said. “But that could be a month, could be three months, who knows how the court proceedings are going to go.”
