The fourth annual Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is full of big names on both the men’s and women’s sides.
The annual tournament – which earns the winning wrestler a chance at a world title – is expected to kick off soon. Eight-wrestler brackets for both divisions were revealed on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite. Here’s a look at everything we know.

In a surprising development, it was announced Wednesday that Jay White is no longer expected to compete in the tournament despite previously declaring himself for the bracket.
White is reportedly out of the Owen Hart Cup due to an injury, per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful. It was mentioned on the show that he had to withdraw from the bracket after suffering an attack from the Death Riders.
White’s spot was replaced by recent AEW signing Kevin Knight, who beat him on last weekend’s Collision.
As expected, the bracket includes Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page. Other entrants include Konosuke Takeshita, Brody King, Mark Briscoe, Kyle Fletcher, and a wild card spot.

Most of the women’s tournament was already known, as Mercedes Moné, Athena, Billie Starkz, Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and Thunder Rosa all previously confirmed their involvement in the tournament.

As a preview for the women’s bracket, Moné will tag with former opponent Cameron to take on Hart and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena on Saturday night.
