Wheeler Yuta Shares That His Aunt Passed Away Over AEW All Out Weekend
Wheeler Yuta reflects on AEW All Out weekend.
Wheeler Yuta reveals a recent loss he experienced.
At AEW All Out last weekend, the BCC imploded as Jon Moxley, PAC and Claudio Castagnoli would take out Bryan Danielson, suffocating him unconcious with a plastic bag as Wheeler Yuta could only watch. On the September 14th edition of AEW Collision, Wheeler returned to the ring and defeated Anthony Henry in singles action after Henry mentioned Danielson, cuasing Yuta to snap.
While speaking in a digital exclusive posted to AEW’s social media after his match, Wheeler was asked what was going through his head after AEW All Out weekend and shared a loss he experienced outside of wrestling last weekend.
“Uh… Everything and nothing, if that makes sense. Everything because I’m just trying to scramble to figure out why… why they did what they did, why they didn’t tell me, why they did that to Bryan. Then nothing, because all I can really think about is those moments where they had that bag over Bryan’s head, where they were trying to end him. They were trying to make me watch for some reason. Jon keeps talking about this higher purpose and I just don’t understand it. All I understand is how afraid, how terrified, how concerned, how helpless I was when all that happened. It was a really rough day for me Saturday. Before the show. I found out that my aunt in Japan had passed away. She passed away from complications due to COVID-19 and I just kind of know that in her. Her last moments she was. Struggling to find breath and. That’s really all I could think about when I watched that happen to Bryan. Kumiko, I love you. Rest in peace. But Bryan, Bryan’s going to be okay. Bryan’s going to be all right. Hee’s going to be like no one we’ve ever seen before. I don’t really know where that leaves me. Yeah, just a lot to think about. I’m sorry if you excuse me. I’m going to take some time by myself, if that’s all right.”
