AEW star dealing with injury *COLLISION SPOILERS*

[Chris]

Cash Wheeler is dealing with an injury.

Wheeler and Dax Harwood dropped the AEW Tag Team Championships to Ricky Starks and Big Bill to open up Saturday's episode of Collision. The match went under five minutes.

Wheeler was taken out of the match early when Bill chokeslammed him through the announce table. Bill then gave Harwood several chokeslams before Starks delivered a spear and got the pin.

Wheeler's status was addressed by our own Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

"Cash is injured," Alvarez said.

"That's what it sure appeared to be," Meltzer said.

"Well, he is injured, that's the story," Alvarez continued. "The story they told on television was it was at the pay-per-view when Aussie Open ran them together, they sold it like he'd injured his rib there."

FTR cut a promo in the opening moments of Collision about how they were beaten up and hurt going into the match. Wheeler sold his rib in the early going as well.

"(I) don't know how long FTR is going to be out of action," Alvarez added.

FTR dropping the tag titles comes after a fourth match against The Young Bucks had seemingly been set up. The Young Bucks won a four-way match at WrestleDream to earn a shot at the belts.

Alvarez also noted that he heard Luchasaurus may have suffered a broken finger on Saturday's show as well.

Ah... so that's the thing then.

I hope Cash recovers fully and as fast as possible.

Spme conspiracy theories are that it's legal issues instead of an injury and that's why he dropped the belt and while I'll agree with what we know that's plausible, it doesn't really explain why he was taken out the way he was in the match itself so it's probably a legit injury

Those quotes are exactly why people hate Dave Meltzer and company.

They say Cash Wheeler is injured as if it is fact but there was no fact just assumptions.

“This was an angle pitched by Dax Harwood. There were those in the company told Cash Wheeler was injured with broken ribs and that was the reason for it," Meltzer wrote. "We’re told he is banged up, enough to where he was X-rayed but we were told the X-rays showed no broken ribs and he doesn’t need time off and could have done a full match."

"The idea of the pitch is to do a match where Wheeler was injured and Harwood had to face both men and got blown out without getting much offense in. The idea of dropping the titles and doing it in such a one-sided way to put over Bill & Starks strong and to do something significant to try and help the Collision show,” Meltzer continued.
