AEW held their first-ever non-televised event called House Rules in Troy, Ohio on Saturday, May 18th. Top stars including Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli wrestled on the house show, which was reportedly attended by 3,000 fans.

PW Insider reported that the event was filmed using handheld cameras. The report further noted that AEW had their Dark logo up during the event, but didn’t confirm whether or not the content would air on a future episode of their YouTube show.

The show was filmed with several handheld cameras. They had AEW Dark banners up, but no word yet if any of the content would end up on an episode of Dark yet. Obviously, AEW should tape all these events to help build additional library content.

Fans in attendance were surprised to witness the AEW in-ring debut of Pat Buck. Pat has been with AEW as a vice president since 2022, but this past Saturday marked the first time he had competed inside an AEW ring.
