AEW World Champion MJF has expressed his support for AEW World Tag Team Champion Cash Wheeler after Wheeler’s recent arrest on a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm. Wheeler turned himself in on a warrant and has since posted bail. The incident in question occurred during a road rage incident in late July. Wheeler has pleaded not guilty, but if convicted, he could face up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
In response to the online discussion surrounding Wheeler’s arrest, MJF took to Twitter to defend his colleague and redirect the conversation to the upcoming title defense by FTR against The Young Bucks at AEW All In. MJF emphasized that everyone makes mistakes and that Wheeler is a great person and a formidable competitor. His tweet received support from Wheeler’s tag team partner, Dax Harwood.
While neither Wheeler nor Harwood has publicly commented on the matter, MJF’s show of support highlights the camaraderie and unity within the AEW roster.
