The 2025 Owen Hart Memorial Cup tournaments may not conclude until Double or Nothing next month, but there are already rumblings of a brand new tournament in AEW. Kenny Omega was answering questions from fans on a recent Twitch stream when he was asked who he would love to face in an intergender match. The query got “The Cleaner” talking about what he’s heard a few possible mixed tag team tournament in AEW.
“I keep hearing now and again, it gets tossed around now and again in AEW the rumblings of getting the mixed tag match tournament,” Omega said. “I keep hearing about the potential for possibly doing this tournament. I’ve put more thought into what a tag team would seem like moderately than [what] a singles would seem like. Someone had said like Mayu Iwatani and I’m pondering like, yeah, that’d be cool to have her and someone team up. Or Starlight Kid and someone team up. Two of my favorites from STARDOM, of course without delay.”
Omega noted there have been countless other talents which have something special who could work in an AEW tournament, including current Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling star Chihiro Hashimoto. As of this writing, AEW President Tony Khan has not put out an official word a few mixed tag team tournament in AEW.
AEW’s most up-to-date mixed tag team match occurred on April 2. Swerve Strickland and Willow Nightingale took on AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir within the opening match of “AEW Dynamite.” Within the match, Nightingale sent Moxley through a table and Strickland by chance hit a House Call on Shafir before the babyfaces got the victory.
