“Canada has a rich wrestling heritage, and our debut in
Toronto last year served as a special moment in our
incredible relationship with fans throughout the country,”
said Tony Khan. “Now, we’re not only entering new markets
but also paying homage to the history of Canadian wrestling
with unique moments like AEW House Rules taking place from
the iconic Calgary Stampede. This summer is shaping up to be
massive with the return of Forbidden Door, and now Canadian
fans in six separate markets will get the chance to witness
what AEW has to offer up close and personal.”
