Hangman Page declares for AEW Owen Hart Foundation tournament

And then, there were two.

During Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, former AEW World Champion Hangman Page announced that he is throwing his hat into the ring as part of this year’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament.

Page delivered the news in a backstage promo, saying that he promised Swerve Strickland will never become AEW World Champion but that his focus can’t be one man but on himself. He said a lot of people are jumping the gun and getting their title shots so he is joining the party.

It will be the second straight Owen Hart tournament for Page as he advanced to the finals in 2024 with wins over Jeff Jarrett and Jay White before succumbing to Bryan Danielson.

Page joins Will Ospreay who officially declared last week, leaving six competitors remaining. No women’s entrants have been announced as of now.

The date and format for this year’s tournament have yet to be announced. Starting with last year’s tournament, the winner earns a future World title shot.
