Cash Wheeler Confronts Jake Hager in Texts Over Disrespectful Comments, Hager Responds on Twitter

Cash Wheeler was not happy about the disrespect.

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Jake Hager was the guest where he spoke about his time with All Elite Wrestling, somewhere down the line, he mentioned his disliking for Tony Khan, his former boss, and the moment where CM Punk’s incident with Jack Perry led the wrestlers to have a meeting, where Hager had claimed FTR’s Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood were not present at it, however, that seemed to be a lie.

Here is Wheeler’s first response on Twitter/X.

Cash and I were at the all-talent only meeting that was called by Bryan, Jericho, and Mox.

Tony never interrupted.

Cash and I have NEVER refused to show up to work and, I’d to dare say, if you look at our schedules since Collision started, we’re the most consistent talent that… https://t.co/Hf9mPtyZfe

A few hours later, Hager would respond, and despite telling Wheeler they were right about being at the meeting, However, he is now going back on his claims that they were not there, and the story was not about them despite mentioning them by name,

The meeting happened. FTR was not there. they can’t deny the story no matter many txt msgs they post. Meanwhile , the story wasn’t even about them. #smdftb https://t.co/XY4Kd5CZz0
