After Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, the semifinals are now official for the men’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament where the winner gets an AEW World title shot at August’s All In.

On the right side of the bracket, Brody King defeated Claudio Castagnoli in the early match on Wednesday’s combo edition of Dynamite/Collision. King pinned the Death Riders member clean to win the rubber match in their unofficial series dating back to the 2023 Continental Classic.

King now moves on to face Swerve Strickland in a rematch from March’s Revolution that Strickland won. The date was not announced.

In the later quarterfinal, AEW National Champion Mark Davis defeated Jack Perry in the latest chapter of their recent rivalry, getting the pin after a piledriver.

Davis now moves on to face former United Empire teammate and friend Will Ospreay in the other semifinal next Wednesday on Dynamite. It will be their third meeting in AEW with Ospreay picking up the win in February 2025 with Davis upsetting Ospreay this past February as part of his recovery storyline.
