Mercedes Moné Advances to Owen Hart Cup Final on AEW Dynamite
AEW Dynamite aired on June 17, 2026 from the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, Texas. The show featured Team MJF and Team Briscoe announcing their line‑ups for the six‑on‑six steel‑cage match at the upcoming Forbidden Door pay‑per‑view and then competing in a 12‑man tag team bout.
In the women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinal, Mercedes Moné defeated Hazuki by submission (the Statement Maker), securing her place in the tournament final at Forbidden Door later in the month. The winner will earn a championship opportunity at the All In event in August.
The men’s Owen Hart Cup also progressed, with Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland meeting in a face‑to‑face segment ahead of their final at Forbidden Door. The episode was broadcast on TBS and HBO Max.
