The field for the Owen Hart Tournament is beginning to take shape.
During the June 17 episode of AEW Collision, QT Marshall announced that Powerhouse Hobbs would be competing in the 2023 Owen Hart Tournament. Hobbs said that he is the face of TNT, and this new chapter in the book of Hobbs is about redemption. The former TNT Champion says his goal is to get back to the top of the hill and hold gold once again.
Later in the episode, Ricky Starks also announced that he would be taking part in the second annual Owen Hart Tournament. As of this writing, Starks and Hobbs are the only wrestlers to have entered the tournament.
