Each “AEW House Rules” event offers an even more immersive experience for fans, including customized merchandise, unique ways to engage with featured talent and in-show interactions different from what is featured on televised AEW programming.

“We are thrilled to see wrestling return to Stampede Park, the home of the legendary Stampede Wrestling promotion.

Further bolstering its global pop culture infiltration, AEW has launched impressive collections of video games, action figures, trading cards, merchandise and more.

“We wanted our first ‘AEW House Rules’ show in Canada to be extraordinary and memorable, and there’s no better venue to bring out the best in our talent and creativity than the iconic Calgary Stampede,” said Jeff Jarrett, AEW’s Director of Business Development. “We love the concept of wrestling under the lights at the Saddledome, and we can’t wait for fans to experience our live show in one of the coolest venues in Canada. In addition to satisfying the passions of diehard wrestling fans, we’re excited about creating new fans of all ages on July 15 at the Calgary Stampede.”
