For those that didn’t watch Collision, lots of movement on the women’s Owen Hart Tournament entrants with brackets being released on Dynamite this Wednesday

Athena
Meecedes
Billie Starkz
Hayter
Rosa
Stat

Assuming these are eight-person fields that leaves just two more on the women’s side

Men’s side is still just…

Ospreay
Hangman
Switchblade

Hoping we get a mystery guy in the tourney and it's a return like Perry, Juice, or Kingston. Not sure what each of their status is as far as any injury or what's going on with Perry tho. Killswitch another one tho who knows how severe his injury is currently. Hopefully has gotten better. I expect the 3 mentioned as already in to be in the winners bracket unless they shockingly cross paths so that just leaves 1 spot to fill. Women's side looks tough so let's see how they fill out the men's one.

Last year they had Claudio, Shingo, Fenix, and Hangman as surprise entrant in losers bracket. I think Caster is a good one for this year. They just gotta find 3 others for the rest of the losses.

Kevin Knight is officially All Elite, after having interest across the wrestling world.

Fightful Select reported in early January that Kevin Knight's deal had expired the week of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom, resulting in his title loss on the show. We were told during that period that New Japan Pro Wrestling was very interested in retaining Knight, but that many expected him to look to land in a company in the United States.

Knight met with Tony Khan and Rocky Romero early in February around the time he worked an ROH taping where he wrestled AR Fox to a time limit draw. Around that time he was also looking to speak with WWE.

PWinsider had noted that he had an "invited WWE tryout." We've not confirmed that as of yet, or if the terminology implies a private WWE tryout or if he attended. When Fightful inquired with Performance Center sources, one longtime staff member said "I'm not sure what more they needed to see. He wrestled in New Japan, CMLL, AEW, Ring of Honor, MLW and TNA. There are looks at this guy on every other stage but ours. Glad we were at least trying though." We can confirm WWE had interest, and we were told he would have likely started in NXT had he been signed.

We spoke to sources in TNA and other companies, but they believed that he wasn't returning unless he signed with WWE. Knight wrestled seven matches there between January and March last year. Knight also worked four MLW dates between September and November.

Let the record show it's the weekend again and again Bradley is spending it updating his echo chambers and trying to argue with people :pachaha:

@mannyrs13 What do you mean by "losers brackets" for the Owen Cup? I thought it was a single elimination tournament?

It is. My fault. Meant to say losers bracket as in losing side. Cuz it's 8 total so 4 advance first round. So it's not like they can put hangman, ospreay and white to face each other first round cuz you don't want to waste your top talent early. Last year BD beat Shingo first round so they need guys like that or like Jarrett. Can't be the 3 already in plus other top stars.

Like with the women, Billie and Thunder prolly lose but who else do you put to take a first round loss there? Don't want to lose one of your top stars before second round.

Need 4 on each bracket with no chance. I don't think Okada should join the men unless they got those 4 and then 4 with no chance to lose to them.
