Calgary fans may be disappointed about being the only Canadian stop that doesn’t get a TV show, but AEW’s director of business development, long-time pro wrestler Jeff Jarrett, says they wanted to make their first House Rules event in Canada have extra meaning, and the Stampede was the place for that.
“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 Jarrett. “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.”
