The other three Owen Hart Tournament matches are quarterfinal contests. Samoa Joe and Dr. Britt Baker will face mystery opponents referred to only as "The Joker". The third quarterfinal match is in the men's bracket and will see Kyle O'Reilly face Rey Fenix.

AEW Champion Hangman Page will be in action against DDT Pro's Konosuke Takeshita tonight. Page's title challenger at Double or Nothing, CM Punk, will be a special guest commentator during the match.

Also announced for tonight's show, Wardlow must take 10 lashes from MJF. It's one of the requirements laid out for Wardlow to get a one-on-one match against MJF at Double or Nothing.
