House of Black recently defended their AEW World Trios Championship against Lee Johnson, Action Andretti, and Darius Martin in an Open House Match. As per the bout's rules, the challenger could add a stipulation of their choosing to the showdown.
The challengers chose an interesting stipulation for the match: getting the fourth member of House of Black, Julia Hart, banned from the ringside. The challengers' decision likely stemmed from the fact that Hart is known to cause distractions and interferences in the matches of her stablemates.
Despite the added stipulation, House of Black still emerged victorious, but Julia Hart did not take the ban lightly. She took to Twitter to express her anger at her real-life fiance, Lee Johnson, who was a part of the challenging team. The House of Black member called Johnson a "couch boy" and mentioned he was not getting any hugs.
"I can confirm Lee Johnson is not getting any……..hugs. Comes back to work and thinks he can just ban me from ringside because he knows what I’m capable of #couchboy," posted Hart.
