Skye Blue had her work cut out for her in her Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinal match on the July 12 AEW Dynamite in Saskatoon. She not only had to face to Ruby Soho, the young star would have to deal with Soho’s Outcasts teammates Saraya & Toni Storm.
Referee Stephon Smith eventually threw the heels out, but not until after they’d whipped Blue knee first into the ring steps.
The AEW Women's World champion Toni Storm with the distraction.

Soho targeted the knee from there on, including almost securing a submission with a half-crab. Displaying the babyface fire that’s fueled her recent rise, Skye kept fighting. But she could only do so much on one good leg. Unable to hit her Code Blue, Blue got desperate. That was all the opening Ruby needed to punch her ticket to her second straight Owen final.
