On this week's Dynamite, AEW announced its first-ever house show will go down on Friday, April 9, a day before WrestleMania 37.
Tony Khan's promotion took to Instagram today to reveal the name of the untelevised show. Named "The House Always Wins", the live event will feature some of the biggest names in AEW.
The event will take place at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, home to countless AEW shows in the past. Tickets will go on sale Monday at 10 AM ET on AEWTIX.com. Fans will also be able to purchase combo tickets for both the event and the April 7 episode of Dynamite.
If not for the pandemic that robbed professional wrestling of live fans in attendance last year, AEW could have very well conducted their first-ever house show much earlier. Non-televised shows becoming a norm in AEW would be heavily dependent on the success of the upcoming event.

These shows could provide fertile ground for AEW management to test their talent, something WWE has done rigorously in the past with its house shows.
