AEW has officially revealed the bracket for the 2026 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, with several major first-round matches confirmed for AEW Double or Nothing.
On one side of the bracket, Samoa Joe will face Will Ospreay in one of the tournament’s biggest opening round matches. The winner of that bout will advance to face the winner of Mark Davis versus Jack Perry in the semi-finals.
The opposite side of the bracket will see Swerve Strickland take on Bandido, while Claudio Castagnoli battles Brody King in another first-round match.
The winners of those matches will then meet to determine the second finalist.
AEW also confirmed that the tournament final will take place at AEW Forbidden Door on June 28 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.
The eventual tournament winner will earn a future world championship opportunity at All In.
