AEW Owen Hart Foundation tournament finals to take place this July

For the second straight year, AEW’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments will culminate in Calgary.

The Calgary Sun reports that the winners of the 2024 men’s and women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments will be crowned when AEW returns to the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday, July 10. There will be a live Dynamite episode that night along with a taping of Collision. The show is taking place during the Calgary Stampede rodeo festival.

Dr. Martha Hart will be at the show to present the tournament winners with the Owen Hart Cup.

Further details, including the participants for the tournaments and when they will begin, have not been announced.

To honor Owen Hart’s legacy, AEW and the Owen Hart Foundation entered into a partnership in 2021. The Owen Hart Foundation tournaments have taken place annually since 2022. Adam Cole, Britt Baker, Ricky Starks, and Willow Nightingale have won the tournaments since they were introduced.

This Thursday marked the 25th anniversary of Owen Hart’s death in a stunt gone wrong at WWF Over the Edge 1999. Martha Hart told the Calgary Sun that the month of May, which also includes Owen’s birthday, reminds her of all she’s lost.

“May is the month that reminds me of all that I lost,” Martha said. “It’s this wave that builds leading to his death date, and once the day passes all the heavy emotions wash over me, until, once again, I feel light, and I can move forward.”

The Owen Hart Foundation was started by Martha Hart in 2000 with funds that she received from the settlement of a wrongful death lawsuit against WWE. The foundation supports local, national, and international communities through scholarships, housing, and partnership programs.
