Will Ospreay advanced to the Owen Hart Men’s Tournament semifinals by defeating Samoa Joe at AEW Double or Nothing in Queens on May 24, keeping alive his bid for an AEW World Championship match at All In.
Multiple Hidden Blades finished the first-round match after Ospreay opened with an OsCutter, capping what he called a "dream match" against Joe.
Ospreay said afterward he believes he can become the face of AEW and carry the company to "new heights" if he wins the Owen and later captures the title.
The semifinal will pit Ospreay against either Mark Davis or Jack Perry, while Swerve Strickland also advanced; the Owen Cup final is set for Forbidden Door on June 28.
The tournament winner earns a title shot at All In, AEW’s marquee event at Wembley Stadium in England — a stage Ospreay said he has dreamed of reaching since childhood.
