The women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament has its first three entrants following Saturday’s AEW Collision in former TBS Champions and current rivals Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale and Mariah May.
After her quick win over Robyn Renegade, Stokely Hathaway took to the microphone to say that Statlander was going to make history in becoming the first-ever woman to hold both the AEW Women’s World title and TBS title.
Shortly afterward, last year’s winner Nightingale was being interviewed in the back and was asked for her reaction to Statlander’s declaration. She then revealed she was also entering the tournament.
Following AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm’s non-title win over Lady Frost, she pulled May onto the apron and suggested she also enter the tournament which the former Stardom star accepted.
In a change to the format, the winners of both the men’s and women’s tournaments will earn World title shots at August’s All In at London’s Wembley Stadium. While the start date hasn’t been announced, the finals will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on Wednesday, July 10th.
On the men’s side, the only entrant thus far has been Bryan Danielson.
