Tag team match set for AEW House Rules live event
AEW has made its first match announcement for this weekend’s House Rules live event in Troy, Ohio.
Blackpool Combat Club’s Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli will be teaming up at the house show, taking on Big Bill & Lee Moriarty of The Firm. The show is being held at Hobart Arena this Saturday (March 18).
This will be the first event on AEW’s House Rules tour. It’s the second-ever AEW house show. The first, named The House Always Wins, took place in April 2021.
Moxley was originally supposed to wrestle at OTT ScrapperMania 7 in Dublin, Ireland this Saturday, but he was pulled from the booking after AEW announced the House Rules event. Ohio is Moxley’s home state.
AEW is sending Eddie Kingston and PAC to ScrapperMania as Moxley’s replacements.
Moxley & Castagnoli defeated Alex Reynolds & John Silver on Dynamite last week. On this Wednesday’s episode of the show, Moxley, Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta will face Hangman Page, Evil Uno & Stu Grayson in a six-man tag match.
Castagnoli is the current ROH World Champion.
