Owen Cup Brawl Erupts
Hazuki Advances in Owen Cup; Mercedes Mone Brawls with Hazuki After Win at AEW Collision
AEW Collision from Youngstown, Ohio saw Megan Bayne and Lena Kross, known as Divine Dominion, retain the Women’s World Tag Team Championship by defeating Tay Melo and Anna Jay. The match featured extended back-and-forth action, with Jay nearly scoring with a Queen’s Slayer choke before Bayne and Kross ultimately hit their Divine Intervention double choke slam for the win. In the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup quarterfinals, Hazuki defeated Persephone to advance, and will face last year’s winner Mercedes Mone in the semifinals. After the bout, Mone attacked Persephone with the tournament belt and applied the Statement Maker, while Hazuki attempted to intervene and was pulled into a brawl that required security. Coverage of the episode also built upcoming storylines, including Swerve Strickland clashing with Brody King at Summer Blockbuster and Death Riders defeating Shane Taylor Promotions in a trios match.
Key Points
In the Women’s Tag Team title match, commentary noted that Megan Bayne and Lena Kross were “unbeaten as a tag team,” and the bout ended with the champions hitting the Divine Intervention double choke slam for a title-retention time of 10:29.
The Owen Hart Cup quarterfinal featured specific offense from Hazuki: she finished Persephone with a Lung Blower followed by a Magistral Cradle to win the match.
Hazuki’s progression into the semifinals came on the heels of her recent AEW debut: Fightful noted she previously made her debut the week before against Maya World.
Mercedes Mone’s tournament return was framed with context beyond the after-match brawl: the 411mania report said Mone returned to AEW TV after a six-month break, and that she defeated Alex Windsor in the Owen Cup first round to earn her semifinal spot.
