Cash Wheeler’s criminal case expunged by court marks the conclusion of a drawn-out legal episode that began nearly two years ago, as confirmed by Florida court records dated May 5, 2025. The AEW star, best known as part of the FTR tag team, now has his record fully cleared, resolving a matter that had overshadowed his career since 2023.
Background of the Legal Issues Facing Wheeler
Wheeler was arrested in August 2023 after being charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, following an alleged road rage incident in Florida. This charge remained open and unresolved for an extended period, creating ongoing uncertainty for both Wheeler and his supporters.
Support from AEW During Legal Proceedings
Throughout this legal process, many AEW colleagues and sources inside the company expressed strong support for Wheeler, contending that the incident did not reflect his usual character. Members of the organization believed the accusation against him was a misrepresentation of his true nature, and asserted that he had been falsely accused.
Resolution and Reactions Within AEW Community
Privately, it was widely acknowledged that Wheeler invested significant effort and resources in order to restore his name. The expungement not only brings official closure to the case but is also seen within AEW as rectifying what many considered an unjust stain on his reputation. As the legal matter draws to an end, attention within the wrestling community now turns to Wheeler’s future inside and outside the ring, free from the shadow of these past accusations.
