First two men’s Owen Hart tournament participants advance at AEW Double or Nothing
Two have advanced in the men’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland both made it to the next round during Sunday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view, getting themselves one step closer to a World title match at Wembley Stadium. Ospreay will next face the winner of the opening round match between Mark Davis and Jack Perry while Strickland will face whoever wins between Claudio Castagnoli and Brody King.
Ospreay was the first to advance at Double or Nothing, defeating Samoa Joe. The finish had Ospreay connecting with the hidden blade, only for Joe to kick out at one. Ospreay responded with a second hidden blade, this time scoring the pinfall win. For Swerve, the critical moment came when he reversed Bandido’s twenty-one plex and planted the ROH Champion with a vertebreaker. Swerve then pinned Bandido following the house call to pick up his victory.
Lots at stake in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament
The winners of both Owen Hart tournaments will move on to challenge the AEW World Champion and the AEW Women’s Champion respectively at All In, which takes place August 30 at Wembley Stadium.
Athena was the first to advance in the women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament, defeating Mina Shirakawa on Sunday.
