Two Owen Hart tournament matches set for next week’s AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster
Two Owen Hart Foundation tournament bouts are on tap for next Wednesday’s Summer Blockbuster edition of AEW Dynamite from Cincinnati, Ohio.
One will be a semifinal in the men’s bracket as former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland takes on Brody King in a rematch from April’s Dynasty. Strickland advanced with a win over Bandido at last month’s Double or Nothing while King defeated Claudio Castagnoli to advance.
The winner advances to this month’s Forbidden Door in the tournament finals against Will Ospreay with the tournament winner getting a shot at the World title at August’s All In.
On the women’s side, Japanese women’s wrestling star Sareee (pictured above) will make her AEW debut against Skye Blue in a quarterfinal. The winner takes on Ring of Honor Women’s Champion Athena in a semifinal at a later date.
