AEW Grand Slam Mexico Notes: Cash Wheeler Pulled from Show & Replaced by Stokely Hathaway, Mercedes Mone Wins CMLL World Women’s Title

Cash Wheeler Pulled from AEW Grand Slam Mexico Show

Wednesday’s AEW Grand Slam Mexico show at the Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico featured FTR’s Cash Wheeler being pulled from the show.

During the show, Stokely Hathaway and FTR’s Dax Harwood came out for their 14-Man Tag Team match. Hathaway stated that Wheeler was not here tonight but for nobody to worry since one and a half of FTR was still here and he would be taking Wheeler’s place instead for this match.

Big Stoke has some good news and some bad news ahead of the HUGE 14-Man Tag Match to KICK OFF #AEWDynamite!

Wheeler’s abscense likely was due to legal issues related to him not being allowed to travel to Mexico due to his Aggravated Assault with a Firearm arrest in 2023 that was later expunged from his legal record.
