AEW stars break character and comment on Cash Wheeler's injury
AEW stars and members of the Inner Circle, Santana & Ortiz, recently revealed that they freaked out when Cash Wheeler cut his arm during their match on Dynamite.
Speaking on a recent episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Proud & Powerful discussed numerous topics, notably Cash Wheeler's injury.
AEW star Ortiz explained that it was painful to watch the moment when the blood was pouring down from Cash's arm like a water fountain. He further added that ending the match as quickly as possible was their only escape:
“It was a gnarly situation because I was on the top rope with Dax, and I look over and all I see is, it looked like a water fountain,” Ortiz described. “Blood just came shooting out of Cash’s arm, and he just grabbed it and ran straight to the doctor. We were freaking out a little bit. We were kind of like, alright, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? And we got to it, and we did that we could with the situation. And at that point, we just wanted to end the match, and obviously, we didn’t know how badly injured he was." (H/T- WrestlingInc)
Santana further stated that they regretted not being able to do anything to protect him and were relieved that the FTR member has recovered now:
"We’re always taught to, for me, day one of pro wrestling to protect your opponent and protect yourself,” Santana added. “It was one of those things where I look back at it, and I was like, damn, what could I have done to avoid that situation? What could I have done to maybe help or whatever. It was one of those situations. It was a freak accident, and thankfully, he’s good and just keep it going."
Cash Wheeler's unfortunate injury occurred during the match between FTR and Proud & Powerful on the Fight For The Fallen episode of AEW Dynamite a few weeks ago.
