While Liv Morgan’s case has been dropped and closed, things aren’t looking as promising for AEW star Cash Wheeler. PWInsider has learned that prosecutors in Orange County, Florida are moving forward with pursuing criminal charges against Wheeler after he was arrested in August 2023 on a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm. Wheeler turned himself in and pled not guilty via his attorney — during his arraignment, it was revealed that the AEW star allegedly flashed a gun at another driver following in an act of road rage.

The decision to move forward with the case was decided on February 1, with a hearing slated to take place on February 20. The hearing is listed as an arraignment, although Wheeler has already been arraigned. If found guilty, Wheeler could face up to five years’ imprisonment, five years’ probation, and a $5,000 fine. AEW released a statement around the time of the arrest explaining that they were aware of the situation and were monitoring closely, but the company is yet to comment on the latest development.

Wheeler’s arrest almost put his appearance at AEW All In at Wembley Stadium in jeopardy as some fans didn’t know whether he would be able to travel to England for the event. However, Wheeler was able to travel to and from England with no issues, with he and Dax Harwood successfully defending the AEW Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks. He has since been performing regularly on AEW’s weekly shows, including “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision,” as recently as February 3, when he teamed up with Dax Harwood and Daniel Garcia to take on Christian Cage, Killswitch, and Nick Wayne.
