Will Ospreay Wins Owen Hart Final, Secures Aug. 30 AEW Title Shot

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 29

Summary

  • Will Ospreay beat Swerve Strickland in the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament final at AEW Forbidden Door, earning an AEW World Championship match at All In on Aug. 30.
  • A bloody main event swung late when Strickland’s House Call failed to finish Ospreay, who answered with a Hidden Blade, Death Rider, Tiger Driver and the decisive pin.
  • The victory keeps Ospreay on course for a dream appearance at Wembley Stadium in London, where he said he wanted to live up to that moment.
  • MJF would be Ospreay’s opponent if All In were held now, though AEW still has time to change the world-title picture before the London show.
