The finals of the Owen Hart Cup Tournament will go down July 10 in Calgary.
For the past three years AEW has partnered with the Owen Hart Foundation and Martha Hart to honor the legacy of Owen with the Owen Hart Cup Tournament. During the inaugural tournament, Adam Cole and Britt Baker walked away the winners while TBS Champion Willow Nightingale and Ricky Starks won last year. Up until this point the tournament didn't have any stakes other than a beautiful shiny belt to add to their collection, however this year that's set to change.
During AEW Double or Nothing on the fifth anniversary of AEW, AEW President Tony Khan and Hart made a huge special announcement to the fans in Las Vegas. This year the tournament is set to return but with it being the 25th anniversary of the Owen Hart Foundation, they wanted to raise the stakes even higher. The winners of the men's and the women's tournaments will earn a future World Championship opportunity at AEW All In this August in London.
In a recent interview with The Calgary Sun, Hart confirmed the date of the finals and reiterated that she trusts AEW with the legacy of her late husband."I trust AEW to highlight, promote, and honour Owen's wrestling legacy," she said."We are now working together to ensure that legacy continues." Ahead of the inaugural tournament, current FTW Champion Chris Jericho told Comicbook that the tournament was a"passion project" for him."It was a passion project for me and obviously for Martha and Tony. We worked on it for a long time, about a year and a half, to put the deal together and figure out what we wanted to do," he said.
