The lineups for AEW’s annual single-elimination classic have been unveiled.
The fifth-annual Owen Hart Foundation Tournament brackets were confirmed on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The eight-person tournaments, one for both the men’s and women’s divisions, will determine who challenges for AEW’s top championships at the massive All In: London pay-per-view this summer in Wembley Stadium. The tournament finals will take place as part of Forbidden Door on June 28.
The men’s tournament will feature Will Ospreay, Bandido, Brody King, and Claudio Castagnoli, as well as former world champs Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland. Two of the matches (Joe vs. Ospreay & Strickland vs. Bandido) will take place at Double or Nothing, where the tournament will officially get started.
The women’s bracket had some surprise entrants, as STARDOM talent Hazuki and Joshi freelancer Sareee are part of the lineup. Other entrances include CMLL’s Persephone, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, and Mina Shirakawa.
The women’s bracket will get started at Double or Nothing when 2023 tournament winner Willow Nightingale faces Alex Windsor.
