10 Things That Must Be On The AEW Streaming Service
10. The House Always Wins
Taking place in Jacksonville in early April last year, The House Always Wins is AEW’s one - and so far only - house show. While the very words “house show” tend to scream “inessential,” The House Always Wins might be an exception for a large section of the AEW fanbase.
Sure, most of us can happily live without seeing Eddie Kingston take on Cezar Bononi, but elsewhere on the card you’ll find MJF, Shawn Spears and FTR take on a Dante Martin-assisted Jurassic Express. Surely The Pinnacle were deliciously cruel to Marko Stunt in a way that deserves repeat, on-demand viewing? The House Always Wins also marked the AEW debut of one Konosuke Takeshita. The DDT standout was unknown to most US fans at the time, but now he’s emerged as a charismatic banger machine, his presence adds an extra layer of intrigue to the show.
WWE regularly travel across the country and even around the world delivering house shows to fans. Plus they’ve been putting wrestling on television since before many fans were even born. No one can really expect AEW to keep up.
Just three years into its existence, it’s much easier to be an AEW completist, and if that’s you, AEW’s only house show ever is something elusive and desirable. Tony has said that the show was filmed, with commentary, so making this a streaming service exclusive is a no-brainer.
