Posted on by Vincent Verhei

House of Glory has booked some of AEW’s most decorated champions for its next show.

Both Sammy Guevara and the Acclaimed will be appearing at HOG’s Superclash event in Long Island on March 21. It’s hard to tell whether Anthony Bowens and Max Caster are still teaming together in AEW these days, but HOG has booked the Acclaimed together in a tag match against the Mane Event, the team of Jay Lyon & Midas Black. Originally trained by HOG founder Amazing Red, Lyon & Black are three-time former HOG Tag Team Champions. 

Speaking of Amazing Red, he’ll also return to action on March 21, facing Guevara. It will be the first time that Guevara has wrestled the 28-year veteran, who has won three TNA X Division Championships among many other titles. 

Guevara, Cody Rhodes, and Wardlow are the only three-time TNT Champions in AEW history; he is also a former Interim TNT champion and a three-time Ring of Honor Tag Team champion, a title he currently holds along with the Beast Mortos. 

The Acclaimed are former AEW World Tag Team Champions. Along with Billy Gunn, they once held the AEW Trios Championships for 238 days, a record that was only recently broken by the Opps of Samoa Joe & Katsuyori Shibata & Powerhouse Hobbs.

House of Glory is co-promoting Superclash along with The Big Event. The event takes place at the Suffolk Credit Union Arena in Brentwood, New York, on March 21. Tickets are available here.

MJF to defend AEW World title against Zilla Fatu at HOG No Turning Back

Posted on by Ian Carey

The AEW World Championship will be on the line when MJF wrestles at House of Glory’s No Turning Back event this week.

Last month, it was revealed that MJF would be appearing on the event, set for Friday, February 20, at the Amazura Concert Hall in Jamaica, New York. The venue is less than an hour from MJF’s hometown of Plainview.

House of Glory announced on Sunday that MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against HOG Crown Jewel Champion Zilla Fatu in what is being billed as a champion versus champion match, with only MJF’s title on the line.

HOG wrote:

“This Friday night, history will be made at HOG No Turning Back when MJF defends the AEW World Championship against Zilla Fatu, the reigning HOG Crown Jewel Championship holder, in what is already being called one of the most monumental matches in House of Glory history.”

Also scheduled for the show, Charles Mason will defend the HOG Heavyweight Championship against Andrade El Idolo.

This will be the second time MJF has defended the AEW World Championship outside of AEW during his current reign. Last month, he defended it against Alec Price at the Limitless Rumble in Lewiston, Maine. MJF has now defended the championship three times since winning it at World’s End, defeating Bandido, Price, and most recently Brody King at Grand Slam Australia.

MJF cut a promo on Fatu to promote the match against Fatu:

The Bubba Ray Dudley renaissance continues.

After angles on the Busted Open radio show and backstage at last weekend’s TNA Slammiversary event, House of Glory Wrestling has announced that Bubba Ray, wrestling under the Bully Ray moniker, will challenge Zilla Fatu for the HOG Crown Jewel Championship on Friday, August 1 at the company’s High Intensity event.

A WWE Hall of Famer, the 54-year-old Bully Ray has been in the news quite a bit this week, including issuing a challenge to The Hardys on behalf of The Dudleys for a final tag match between the two legendary teams for the TNA Tag Team titles at the promotion’s Bound for Glory event in October.

Bully Ray/Bubba Ray was also prominently featured on Tuesday’s WWE NXT TV episode where he attempted to broker an agreement for a match between Charlie Dempsey and Tavion Heights. He is also a cast member and coach on the WWE LFG show that airs Sunday nights on A&E.
