Will Ospreay will go on to AEW Forbidden Door and the finals of the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation tournament after defeating AEW National Champion Mark Davis in a chaotic fundamental event of “AEW Dynamite.” Ospreay will face the winner of Brody King vs. Swerve Strickland, which can happen next week.
Davis targeted Ospreay’s neck throughout the match, and after just a few minutes of going back-and-forth, the match spilled to the skin. Davis sent Ospreay into the ring barricade, then Ospreay took out his opponent with a hurricanrana. The National Champion dropped his opponent on the commentary desk, and Ospreay bounced right off.
Back within the ring, Davis hit a superplex that did not keep Ospreay down for long, but Davis caught him off a springboard and threw him across the ring. Ospreay rallied after taking some chops, then delivered a brutal series of kicks to Davis until one finally took him off his feet.
Ospreay hit a stomp off the highest to Davis’ arm, then searched for the Death Ground, but Davis countered. Davis hit a piledriver, but Ospreay countered a second on the apron. Ospreay hit a Styles Clash, but Davis still kicked out. He by chance took out the referee, and the chaos began.
Ospreay hit the Hidden Blade, however the Don Callis Family ran out. The Death Riders followed to even the chances. Ospreay hit Davis with the Os-Cutter, but there was still no referee. After the Death Riders and DCF battled to the back, it was Kyle Fletcher to take out Ospreay again and convey out a screw driver. Konosuke Takeshita then took out Fletcher, nonetheless.
It took one other two Hidden Blades to take down Davis, but Davis was capable of hit yet one more pile driver. Ospreay didn’t quit, nonetheless, and locked within the Death Ground for the victory.
