The inaugural AEW ‘House Rules’ live event on Saturday night was an official sellout with over 3,000 in attendance. AEW was “thrilled” with the turnout for its first-ever house show.
AEW President Tony Khan was in attendance at the show, the same way he would have been for a live broadcast, and John Thorne’s AIW promotion provided logistical support as did WWE alumnus Tony Chimel.
The latest episode of Hey! (EW) features The Kingdom as the special guests. You can check that out below:
During the latest Pro Wrestling NOAH Great Voyage 2023 event in Yokohama, Japan, Jake Lee defeated Kaito Kiyomiya to capture the GHC Heavyweight Championship. Kiyomiya won the title back in September.
Lee is a former Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion in AJPW and his latest victory marks his first major singles title win in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Following his title victory, Lee was confronted by Kongo’s Katsuhiko Nakajima, setting up a match between the two for next month.
NOAH has also announced that Lee will defend the GHC Heavyweight Title against Nakajima at ‘Green Journey’ 2023 on April 16 in Sendai, Japan.
