Introduction
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has finished the Owen Hart Foundation tournaments during the Forbidden Door event. These matches have determined the main challengers for the upcoming All In event in London.

Main Body
In the women's division final, Mercedes Moné faced Maya World. World showed great technical skill after defeating Athena and Skye Blue; however, Moné won the match by submission. This is the first time a wrestler has won the Owen Hart Cup two years in a row. As a result, Moné is now set to challenge the AEW Women's World Champion, Thekla, as long as Thekla wins her match against Starlight Kid.
在女子組決賽中，Mercedes Moné 對陣 Maya World。World 在擊敗 Athena 和 Skye Blue 後展現了極佳的技術技巧；然而，Moné 以投稿（submission）贏得比賽。這是首次有摔角手連續兩年贏得歐文·哈特盃。因此，只要 Thekla 在對陣 Starlight Kid 的比賽中獲勝，Moné 隨即將挑戰 AEW 女子世界冠軍 Thekla。
Meanwhile, in the men's division, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland fought in a long, forty-minute match to decide who would headline Wembley Stadium. Strickland tried to slow down the pace to stop Ospreay's speed. Despite the physical struggle and interference from their managers—The Death Riders for Ospreay and Prince Nana for Strickland—Ospreay won by pinfall after several powerful moves. This victory gives Ospreay a chance to fight for the championship at All In. He will likely face MJF, depending on the result of MJF's match against Mark Briscoe on July 1 and the AEW Redemption event.
同時，在男子組中，Will Ospreay 與 Swerve Strickland 進行了一場長達 40 分鐘的激戰，以決定誰將在溫布利體育場領銜主演。Strickland 試圖降低節奏以限制 Ospreay 的速度。儘管身體對抗激烈，且兩人的經理——Ospreay 的 The Death Riders 與 Strickland 的 Prince Nana——均有干擾，但 Ospreay 在施展數次強而有力的招式後，以壓制（pinfall）獲勝。這次勝利讓 Ospreay 有機會在 All In 爭奪冠軍。根據 MJF 在 7 月 1 日對陣 Mark Briscoe 的結果以及 AEW Redemption 賽事，他很可能會面對 MJF。
Conclusion
Will Ospreay and Mercedes Moné have both earned their spots as challengers for All In, although the final matchups depend on the results of future title defenses.
Will Ospreay 與 Mercedes Moné 均已贏得 All In 的挑戰者席位，儘管最終的對陣組合將取決於未來冠軍衛冕賽的結果。
Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'Logic Bridge': Moving from Simple to Sophisticated
At the A2 level, we usually connect ideas with simple words like and, but, or because. To reach B2, you need to use "Connectors of Contrast and Condition." These allow you to express complex relationships between ideas in a single sentence.
⚡ The 'Contrast' Shift
Look at this sentence from the text:
"World showed great technical skill... however, Moné won the match."
A2 Style: World was good, but Moné won. (Simple) B2 Style: World showed skill; however, Moné won. (Professional)
The Rule: Use However or Despite when you want to show a surprising result.
- Example: Despite the rain, the match continued. (The rain didn't stop the match).
⛓️ The 'Conditional' Chain
B2 fluency is all about possibility. The article uses a sophisticated structure to show that one event depends on another:
"...as long as Thekla wins her match..."
The Magic Phrase: As long as = Only if.
Instead of saying "If Thekla wins, then Moné fights her," use as long as to create a stronger condition. This makes your English sound more natural and precise.
Try these B2 patterns:
- I will go to the gym as long as I finish my work.
- We can win the tournament as long as we practice every day.
