AEW Announces Starting Date For Owen Hart Cup
The finals are set for Double or Nothing
The Owen Hart Cup men's and women's tournaments will kick off this May, according to AEW in one of their latest live event announcements.
According to an on-sale notice posted Monday, the May 11 Dynamite and Rampage tapings will take place at UBS Arena in Long Island, NY. On the event graphic, the words, "The Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments Begin" appear in the lower right corner.
Tickets for the taping go on sale this Friday at 10 am EST. No participants or bracketing for the tournament have been announced.
Previous updates on the tournament have the finals taking place at Double or Nothing on May 29. Dr. Martha Hart will be on hand to present the trophies to the men's and women's winners.
This will be AEW's second ever taping at the UBS Arena on Long Island. Their first taping there was held December 8, which made headlines for outdrawing a WWE Raw taping held in the same building nine nights earlier.
Last September, AEW entered into a relationship with The Owen Hart Foundation, a nonprofit charity founded by Dr. Hart in her husband's name. On the wrestling side, the collaboration will include this tournament, as well as use of Owen's likeness in merchandise.
