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

Q: Will Ospreay’s dream match at Wembley be against MJF, or will a new champion stand in his way?

As of now, Ospreay’s Wembley title match is set to be against MJF, but it is not locked in. Ospreay earned the AEW World Championship shot by beating Swerve Strickland in the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament final at Forbidden Door in San Jose. That victory guarantees him a world-title match at All In on Aug. 30 at Wembley Stadium, fulfilling the path he has openly targeted as a career dream. At the moment, MJF remains the AEW World Champion. The Forbidden Door recap states there were no title changes, so Ospreay’s scheduled opponent is the reigning champion, MJF. That makes the current marquee match Ospreay vs. MJF at Wembley. Still, the situation can change before All In. The reporting around AEW’s summer schedule makes clear that Ospreay is guaranteed the title shot, not a specific opponent. If MJF loses the championship before Aug. 30, Ospreay would face the new champion instead. Some outside speculation has even pointed to a possible Kenny Omega title win before Wembley, though that remains prediction rather than confirmed booking. So the factual answer is straightforward: Ospreay is presently on course to face MJF at Wembley, but his dream match will be against whoever holds the AEW World Championship when All In arrives.

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.
