PWInsider has noted they have received several questions as it pertains to Cash Wheeler and his status for the All In London PPV.
PWInsider said they have confirmed Wheeler was not asked to surrender his passport by the Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida on Friday. As of this writing, there are currently no restrictions on Wheeler traveling internationally that have been imposed by the court.
Furthermore, since Wheeler has not been presently convicted of a crime, it does not appear he will have any issues traveling to London for All In.
Based on Friday’s arrest and what may happen in the near future, it poses the question if FTR will be made to drop the World Tag Team Title Belts to the Young Bucks.
