Little details are known about the incident at the time of this writing. We do know that it was a road rage incident and that Wheeler allegedly brandished a weapon. He made bail on Friday and was ordered to hand over his weapons until the matter is resolved.

Furthermore, the warrant for Wheeler’s arrest was reportedly issued in July, which suggests that either AEW knew about the situation and continued to let him work, or Wheeler didn’t share the information with his employer. Either way, Eric Bischoff believes that it’s a terrible situation and that people need to be responsible with guns.

“I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe that people should be able to defend themselves. But with that comes a fair amount of responsibility, and brandishing a weapon unless you’re ready to use it because someone else has brandished a weapon, or you otherwise feel like your life is in danger, is a stupid, stupid, irresponsible thing to do.”

That said, Bischoff noted that Wheeler’s situation might be nothing more than an allegation, and it’s worth hearing all sides of the story.

“Let’s point out, we don’t know that it’s true. This is a charge and an allegation and it’s one side of the story. I’m anxious to hear the rest of it. I’m hoping that there’s a different explanation or set of circumstances that we’re unaware of yet that will mitigate what appears to be a really impulsive, stupid move.”
