Popular AEW Star Seemingly Turning Heel

AEW

Find out who won the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament from the AEW men’s division on tonight’s edition of AEW Collision!

After Willow Nightingale won the women’s tournament, the men’s final took place in the Collision main event and saw Ricky Starks take on CM Punk.

In a controversial finish, Ricky Starks had a hold of the ropes for leverage as the referee counted the pinfall and he picked up the win.

After that, CM Punk was clearly stunned as he sat shocked in the ring.

After continuing to make his displeasure clear, Punk was shown approaching David Benoit at ringside for an embrace and chat before the cameras cut back to the commentary team.

On the ramp, Jushin Thunder Liger appeared to hand Ricky Starks the literal Owen Cup, but Starks heelishly snatched the cup from the legend and left (albeit still through the right ‘babyface’ side of the stage).

On AEW Battle of the Belts VII immediately following Collision, Dr Martha Hart appeared along with Tony Khan to present the winners of the 2023 Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament their prizes.

There were no heel shenanigans from Starks as the presentation segment ended uneventfully.
