Tony Khan hints at 'surprises' for Owen Hart Cup in AEW
Tony Khan appeared as a guest on Wrestling Observer Radio to discuss AEW Full Gear. He disclosed that people would be surprised with what he had to say about 'The Owen.'
Dave Meltzer asked Khan about his future plans, including the Owen Hart Cup Tournament. The AEW President didn't want to discuss it too much as he didn't want to detract from Full Gear. However, he hinted at an update on his post-show promo.
Here's what Tony Khan said:
"People are going to be surprised what I have to say about 'The Owen' and I might even say some of it in my promo after the pay-per-view. Because I think a lot of people will be watching that to get the info... I am very excited for it and I don't think everybody will expect exactly what I have to say about the format. Maybe some people will expect it but I think it'll be good and well recieved. And I'm really excited for it and it's long overdue for the wrestling fans to have this outlet to pay tribute to Owen Hart who's one of the great wrestlers of all time."
