Jeff Jarrett won't be in this year's Owen Hart Cup Tournament.
AEW Dynasty was the launching point for this year's Owen Hart Cup Tournament, as first-round matches were held for both the Men's and Women's brackets.
There is still mystery surrounding the Men's tournament, as 'Hangman' Adam Page is set to take on a Wild Card opponent in a first-round matchup. Some fans have speculated that Jeff Jarrett could slide into that role given his history with Page.
On the latest edition of his My World podcast, Jarrett seemingly closed the door on that theory.
“I’d like to say that, but I don’t think it’s in the cards for me this year. I’ve had some discussions a couple of Wednesdays in a row, I had a small discussion, I’ll just kind of leave things very broad here — but to answer your question specifically, don’t see me sliding in on this one, which in a lot of ways — People say, ‘Ah Jeff, are you disappointed?’ I got a few of those last night and I can honestly say that last year, how all of that kind of transpired and the respect I gained with Hangman and the Chicago faithful, last year’s Owen was special in a lot of ways. Me being involved in the finals with Bryan Danielson and then got the match after that leading up to All In, that was a really — It’s certainly top three, top four, top five series of moments that led and it all started with, ‘Hey Jeff, can you give us a few comments about Owen and what the Owen means to you.’ That’s literally how it started at a TV and Jay Lethal was ready to go, Karen was ready to go, and they were kind of waiting on me. Anyhow, the produce was great and I just had a flood of emotions come up but it all started right there last year. So, me not being in it, when I look at the seven — and Jay White had to [pull out], man, one of those guys that had the injury bug kind of creeping around. You still look at the competitors in there, it’s truly incredible. When you look on each side of the bracket, I’m gonna selfishly pull because I’m a huge fan after watching that cage match — Kyle Fletcher and Ospreay showdown at Double Or Nothing, that would be special. Who knows, but the Owen is stacked once again no doubt.”
